Broadway at the Beach publishes three clocks for Saturday, December 5, 2026. A parade runs 11 a.m. to noon. Santa sits in Center Court from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Fireworks leave Lake Broadway at 8 p.m. Five hours separate Santa from the fireworks, and the property opens two hours after the first useful work block of the day.
Three published clocks
The property's own event feed carries A Very Broadway Christmas Parade from 11:00 to 12:00, with stilt walkers, classic cars, marching bands and special guests, and links a route PDF. It carries Visits with Santa and Friends in Center Court from 12:30 to 15:00. The record repeats every Saturday from November 21 through December 19 and lists complimentary face painting and balloon-tying stilt walkers. The same entry warns that Santa may arrive a few minutes late on December 5 and that the visits and activities run weather permitting. The fireworks entry sets the show at 20:00 over Lake Broadway and adds that all fireworks shows are weather permitting.
Each December event record carries an empty cost field. The FAQ states that admission to the property is free and that only the attractions require individual fees. No ticket price exists for any of the three events.
The gates open at 11 and close at 9
The hours page publishes November 27 to December 23 as one range: Sunday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. December 5, 2026 is a Saturday, so the property runs 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. A visitor who wants a desk before the parade needs a room, because the property has not opened.
Two gaps a room can hold
The first gap runs from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., before the parade. The second runs from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., between Santa and the fireworks. A single 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. window covers the first gap and the parade. A 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. window covers the parade, Santa and the afternoon. Neither window reaches the fireworks.
What the property does not supply
The FAQ answers two questions in plain terms: Broadway at the Beach does not offer public wifi, and it does not have lockers for storage. A work block taken on property runs on a phone hotspot, and a bag stays in hand. Settle connectivity and bag storage before arrival rather than at the gate.
Day-use rates near the property
Day-use cards read on October 24 put two hotels inside two miles of the property.

Sixty minutes in an escape room
Backstage Escape Games operates at 1314 Celebrity Circle #165 on the property and publishes pricing from $39.95 per person with up to one hour in each room. Its FAQ asks guests to check in 15 minutes before the assigned time and states that late participants are not allowed into the room once a game has started. A party of fewer than eight may be paired with other guests unless the booking covers the entire game, and a party with a child under 16 requires an adult booked with the group, while a child under 10 requires a private booking. The policy carries no cancellation and offers a reschedule with 24 hours' notice. Its holiday game is Dark Winter's Night, a Krampus-themed room. The phone number is (843) 712-1237.
The Escape Game publishes 60-minute games for up to eight players, unlimited hints and store hours of 8 a.m. to midnight daily at 1138 Celebrity Circle Suite 323, with no price on its Myrtle Beach page. Topgolf runs from 2850 Robert Grissom Parkway. Book either one by phone.
Filling 3 to 8
The property carries Dave & Buster's at 1322 Celebrity Circle, WonderWorks, Legends in Concert and the two escape rooms. A 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. window ends at five and leaves three hours on property before the fireworks, which is a dinner and one attraction.
hotelslots.org books four daily slots, morning through overnight, at 30 to 75 percent below nightly rates with no booking fee, and lists 399 Myrtle Beach properties. Ask the hotel for a desk in the room, bag storage after checkout and a checkout at 5 p.m. On December 5 the parade takes one hour, and the rest of the day needs a base.
