Folly Beach Fireworks and Flip-Flop Drop
Ring in the new year the Folly Beach way with a fireworks show and flip-flop drop. Here’s how it works: First, bury your toes in the cool sand while you take in a family-friendly beachside fireworks display. Then, gather around the giant pair of sparkly flip-flops on Center Street (Folly’s answer to the Times Square disco ball) and watch them descend as the clock ticks down to midnight.
Dec. 31. Events start at 7 p.m. Free to attend. Center Street. Folly Beach.
