Krewe of Tri-Cities Poker Run

The 28th Annual Krewe of Tri-Cities River Run is set for Saturday, May 16, 2026, in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The long-running river event brings boaters together for a seven-hour run through the Pascagoula-area waterways, with participants able to travel by boat, car, truck, bike or however they choose while making stops at local marinas, bars and waterfront locations.

The route includes stops at Shingle Mill Landing, River Road Boat Club, Crawfish House on the Bayou, Lighthouse Marina, Wiggles Bait and Bar, and the finale at Sioux Bayou RV Park and Hideaway Bar.

Registration is $50 and includes two meals and one poker hand. The event encourages participants to have a designated driver when drinking and reminds everyone that participants enter at their own risk.

Prize payouts are scheduled for the top five hands. Best hand receives $1,000, second place receives $500, third place receives $250, fourth place receives $125 and fifth place receives $75.

Hosted by the Krewe of Tri-Cities, the River Run continues one of the area’s original local boating traditions, bringing together crews, friends and river-run participants for a full day of cards, stops and community fun along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
