ISLE OF PALMS, SC (WCSC) – Golf carts weren’t just hitting the road Saturday in Isle of Palms; they were out on the streets dressed for Halloween.
Isle of Palms Recreation Center hosted its annual Halloween Golf Cart Parade and Carnival. This event started when COVID-19 hit to help with social distancing.
Now, the event is a tradition on the island because of how many people enjoyed it the first year.
A total of 57 golf carts paraded through the streets around the recreation center in themes ranging from “The Wizard of Oz” to “Ghostbusters” to “It’s a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”
All participants matched the golf cart theme in elaborate costumes while handing out candy to the children. The carts ended up driving into a haunted house.
“There’s been a lot of new people moving to the island, so they’re participating and hearing about it,” said Karrie Farrell, assistant director of recreation at the IOP Rec Center. “We had a group of women who came here earlier this week and are here this week. They are on vacation. And they saw the sign and they made sure to come talk to us, so we’re including them. So it’s just open.”
The top three best golf cart winners were awarded gift cards to Lowcountry businesses. For more information on the event click here.
