NALL Annual Boat Poker Run

The North Accomack Little League Annual Boat Poker Run is scheduled for Saturday, August 15, 2026, bringing boaters together around Chincoteague Bay for a full afternoon of waterfront stops, poker hands, drink specials, and charity fundraising benefiting North Accomack Little League. The annual fundraiser has become one of the Eastern Shore’s more popular late-summer boating gatherings while helping support youth baseball and softball programs throughout the local community.

According to organizers, the 2026 poker run will take place from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. with a rain date scheduled for Sunday, August 16. Participants will travel by boat between six designated waterfront stops throughout the Chincoteague area collecting poker cards while enjoying drink specials and marina gatherings at participating restaurants and waterfront establishments.

Tickets for the 2026 event are priced at $35 per participant and include one poker hand, an official event T-shirt if purchased before July 25, and a commemorative drink koozie. Organizers stated that tickets will be available through H&H Pharmacy on Chincoteague, Wallops Island Supply, and directly through participating board members beginning May 18.

The official 2026 poker run stops include:

  • The Harbor's End featuring $5 margarita specials
  • Chincotiki with Fireball and pickle shot specials
  • Don's Seafood Restaurant offering $5 Orange Crush specials
  • Ropewalk Chincoteague featuring $5 Mermaid specials
  • Blue Fin Marina serving as the extra-card purchase stop
  • The Pearl with featured house drink specials
  • Little Beach, which will operate as the final stop and raffle item location throughout the afternoon.

The event is expected to attract a mix of center consoles, fishing boats, pontoons, deck boats, and recreational cruisers throughout the Chincoteague and Wallops Island waterways as crews spend the afternoon moving between participating marinas, bars, and waterfront restaurants.

Organizers continue to promote the poker run as a relaxed, family-friendly boating fundraiser focused on supporting local youth athletics while bringing together the Eastern Shore boating community during peak summer boating season.
