Celebrate the coming of 2023 at the Folly Beach Flip Flop Drop as the infamous pair of giant sparkly flip-flops descend from high above Center Street to mark the stroke of midnight! Immediately following the drop, the Folly Association of Business will host a grand fireworks show on the beach to kick off the new year with a bang. Everyone near and far is welcome to join us early in our laid-back and fun beach town to celebrate the holiday at many of our restaurants and bars on the island. Center Street will close to auto traffic at 10 pm to allow revelers to flow into the street before midnight
