Major May Events Around Loris

Loris is known for its community traditions, including the well-known Loris Bog-Off Festival, which is held each year in October, not May. The 2026 Loris Bog-Off Festival is scheduled for October 17, 2026, and is sponsored by the Loris Chamber of Commerce. The festival began in 1980 as a chicken bog cooking contest and has grown into a full day of entertainment, vendors, food, and family-friendly fun in downtown Loris.

While May may be a quieter month directly in Loris, one of the benefits of living here is the easy access to larger Grand Strand events nearby. Residents can enjoy Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Little River, and Conway events without giving up the peace and space of a small-town setting.

Nearby May events include the World Famous Blue Crab Festival in Little River on May 16 and 17, 2026, along the Historic Little River Waterfront. This is one of the major spring events in the northern Grand Strand and is a convenient drive from Loris.

The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic is also scheduled for May 7–10, 2026, bringing PGA TOUR energy to the Grand Strand, while the Myrtle Beach Bike Week Spring Rally runs May 8–17, 2026, drawing visitors throughout the Myrtle Beach area.

For Loris homeowners, this location offers a strong lifestyle story: small-town living with access to major coastal events, beaches, golf, shopping, and entertainment just a short drive away.
