Calcasieu Boat Club Poker Run

The Calcasieu Boat Club Poker Run 2026 is scheduled for Friday, July 31, and Saturday, August 1, on the Lake Charles and Calcasieu River waterways in Louisiana. The annual event brings boaters together for a laid-back weekend built around open water, poker run stops, registration activities and time with the boating community.

The event is open to participants 21 and older only. Armbands are required for all stops, and all participants must pick up their registration packet with armbands before taking part. The boat captain and all passengers must register.

Early online registration is open through July 28 at $40 per person. After that deadline, registration must be completed on site, and the price increases to $50 per person.

The weekend begins Friday, July 31, with the kick-off party, on-site registration and packet pickup at Loggerheads Bar, located at 3748 Highway 3059, also known as Old Town Road, in Moss Bluff. Friday registration runs from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with the social scheduled from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Saturday, August 1, begins with on-site registration at Calcasieu Boat Club from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Poker run stops are expected to be announced closer to the event date.

With a Friday kick-off party, required packet pickup, armbands for all stops and a Saturday run on the Calcasieu River and Lake Charles waterways, the 2026 Calcasieu Boat Club Poker Run gives Southwest Louisiana boaters a full weekend event centered on cards, cruising and community time on the water.
