KM’s 2011 BeachBlast Saturday, July 23
Ocean Blvd.
 The water, the sand, the sun, the music and the fun – that’s life along the Grand Strand!  On Saturday, July 23rd, Kings Mountain, NC will feel more like Ocean Drive as the City celebrates, for the 12th year, BeachBlast.  This event brings the beach experience downtown to Patriots Park.  BeachBlast will begin at 10 am and beach music fans can shag into the summer night with music at the Gazebo by Crimson Rose, Ocean Blvd. & Second Nature.  The water features will include the Rotary Splash Pad and frequent rounds of Water Wars.  This free event will start with competition in the Teenie Weenie Bikini Contest (from newborn to six years old), along with a watermelon eatin’ contest, a Woodie car show, corn hole tournament with over $1000. in prize money, and the Big Beach Ball Drop scheduled throughout the day.  Show off your skills during a beach volleyball open competition.  We provide the sand, the net, the ball and you provide the talent!  Join in with the YMCA or bring a team.  A variety of amusement rides and games will be open all day until 10 pm when the event ends.
Many downtown retail shops and restaurants will be open throughout the day.  A variety of food vendors, from Philly cheese steak sandwiches to barbecue and from Italian ice to ice cream, will be available for every palate.  Also, over 50 art and craft vendors will line Gold Street downtown Kings Mountain with their unique art, crafts and collectibles for sale.
