Beginning as a small chicken bog cooking contest in 1980, the Loris Bog-Off has grown more than 37 years into a festival that 35,000 people look forward to every year. Sample an array of chicken bog recipes, browse more than 200 vendor tents, listen to live entertainment on two stages and let the kids run around in a huge children’s play area. Bring your whole family to the event for a great day of food and fun. Downtown Loris. Saturday, 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Free. (843) 756-6030, www.lorischamber.com
