There’s nothing more patriotic than seeing a line of decorated boats cruising down the creek for the Murrells Inlet Fourth of July parade. The year’s theme is "2010: Freedom is In.” Feel free to deck out your boat and join the parade, but if you’d rather stay on land, spectators can line the Marshwalk area for the best view. Come early for a great viewing spot and stick around to have dinner at any of the fine Inlet restaurants after the parade.
Garden City Point. Sunday, 1pm. Free. (843-357-2007), www.murrellsinletsc.com
