The fall Shriners Festival will be coming back to Myrtle Beach for a three-year run.

Last month, the event drew thousands of people to the Grand Strand, for a parade, golf tournament and more.

Local Shrine leader Rick Guignon says the presidents of the South Atlantic Shrine chapters liked Myrtle Beach so much, they voted to bring the festival back here for 2012 through 2014.

The Shriners will again offer free orthopedic screening for kids who may need treatment at the Shriner's Hospital in Greenville.
