The Loris Chamber of Commerce sponsors the Loris Bog-Off Festival each year on the third Saturday in October in downtown Loris.  The event is a day packed with entertainment, vendors, food, and fun for all ages.  The festival began in 1980 as a chicken bog cooking contest and has evolved into the huge event it is today.  Chicken bog generally consists of chicken, rice, sausage and spices of your choice; though over the years there have been many variations of this basic recipe.
