Life in Loris

Loris is a small city in northwestern Horry County, close to the North Carolina line. It grew up as a farming and railroad town, and that hometown character is still here: a walkable historic downtown, local businesses, churches, and neighbors who know each other.

Every fall, Loris hosts the Loris Bog-Off Festival, a celebration of chicken bog, the rice-and-chicken dish Horry County is known for. It is a good example of the community spirit you find here.
