Join us May 7 - 10 for Flytrap Festival 2026!
Join us to celebrate our local endemic Venus flytraps, one of the most wonderful plants in the world (Charles Darwin)! Horry County is home to wild Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) and is the only county in South Carolina where they are found. They represent our local unique wild places including longleaf pine woodlands and Carolina Bays, all of which depend on prescribed fire.
We have 3 events for the 1st Annual Flytrap Fest! Please come out, we hope to see you! Please check each individual event for details.
