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, drawing over 35,000 people! If you have never feasted on the southern delicacy and love a festive atmosphere, this is the place to be.

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. The cooking contest is the primary focus of the day. However, the festival has grown to include over 200 vendors, including craft and retail vendors, two stages of entertainment, and a huge children’s area. 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. 

After you have dined on the chicken bog, enjoy a funnel cake or homemade ice cream from one of the many food vendors. Make plans to join us for this great festival; you will not be disappointed!
