History

The Carolina Opry opened in Surfside Beach, South Carolina in 1986 and was founded by singer, producer and entrepreneur, Calvin Gilmore. The original venue was a 1,000-seat theater located one block from Main Street in Surfside Beach.

Both shows began to sell out nightly and in 1993, the shows were consolidated under The Carolina Opry name in a new 2,200-seat theater located at the intersection of Highway 17 Business and Highway 17 Bypass next to the Pirates Voyage Fun, Feast & Adventure dinner theater in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
