2024 Loris Bog-Off Festival

The Loris Chamber of Commerce sponsors the 45th Annual Loris Bog-Off Festival each year on the third Saturday in October in downtown Loris. Local businesses also sponsor the Festival, which residents from both Carolinas anticipate. If you have never feasted on southern delicacy and love a festive atmosphere, this is the place to be! Join the 35,000 others who won’t miss this great festival; you will not be disappointed.

The festival began in 1980 as a chicken bog cooking contest and has evolved into today's huge event. Chicken bog generally consists of chicken, rice, sausage, and spices of your choice. If you choose not to create your own pot of chicken bog, the Chefs are always on-site to provide plates of southern cuisine at a reasonable price. Enjoy the cooking contest - still considered the day's main focus - and over 200 vendors, two entertainment stages, and a huge children’s area. Many craft and retail vendors will keep you busy. The stage performances include local dance schools, school choruses, and local bands. The festival ends with a fireworks extravaganza and a free concert from a national act.

Original Motown Tribute Show

Voted #1 Best Live Performance in Myrtle Beach – 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022

Set off on a musical journey through time as you tap your feet to the tunes that moved the nation in the 1960s and ’70s. Motor City Musical brings Motown hits from musicians like Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, and the Jackson 5 to the stage, celebrating the history of a genre that brought new life and rhythm to the American music scene. Travel back to the swinging ’60s, when music broke down social barriers, changed lives, and brought Americans together over a shared love of soulful songs.

Learn the story of Berry Gordy, whose Detroit recording studio put some of the last century’s most prominent musical names on the global radar. Hum along as our talented and exciting singers and musicians perform the greatest hits of icons like Martha and the Vandellas, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Gladys Knight, and more. Before the curtain comes down on this Motown-inspired cabaret, you will be singing a new tune and “Dancing in the Streets.”

Please arrive 30 minutes before the performance time for seating. The pre-show starts 15 minutes prior.
