It was started by a group of country music fans who wanted to bring the genre to the Grand Strand. The festival featured many up-and-coming country artists, as well as some legends of the genre.
The festival continued to grow in popularity over the years, and in 2001, it was renamed the Myrtle Beach Country Music Festival. In 2006, the festival expanded to two weekends and featured headliners such as George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, and Brad Paisley.

In 2014, the Myrtle Beach Country Music Festival was forced to cancel its scheduled dates due to Hurricane Joaquin. The festival returned in 2015 with an even bigger lineup that featured headliners like Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Miranda Lambert, and Blake Shelton.
