Loris is a fast growing town whose close proximity to the Grand Strand, and small town charm make it an attractive place to raise a family. The popular Loris Bog-Off festival held every year in October is a celebration of this great town and tasty Carolina chicken bog. The festival features a parade, crafts, bands, and fireworks.
