I've been wanting to put a single page together that would give you a Calendar of Events, as well as other information you need about The Market Common area, including links to all stores, events, and festivals.
I'm Patricia Blackstock. My husband, Wally Snider, and I have been living in Myrtle Beach for 12 years. In March, 2009, we purchased a home in Withers Preserve, within walking distance of The Market Common.
We love the lifestyle, the sidewalks, the biking paths, green spaces and ponds, as well as the friendly people. But most of all, we love the true convenience of a planned urban community.
The shops and restaurants are listed below. A link is provided if the business has a web site. Green indicates a restaurant, dining, eating, drinking establishment. I've also listed the festivals and events by month.

Wellspring Church is putting on a movie! They will set up a huge screen for you to enjoy Family Movie Night Under the Stars!
