Emerald Coast Boat Week Starts Tonight!
Always an interesting mix of land and sea activities, this year’s Emerald Coast Boat Week has an ambitious schedule.
Tomorrow’s (Saturday the 12th) activities center around the Fort Walton Landing including a boat building contest, nautical swap meet, ski demonstrations, and an evening “boat-in” movie.
Activities shift back on land until Friday the 18th, when the focus shifts to AJ’s in Destin Harbor. Fireworks are on tap for 9pm on Friday near AJ’s.
The “Big Event” starts at 10:00 Saturday morning with a Poker Run featuring 10 stops between Pensacola, Destin, and Niceville/Bluewater Bay. This is billed as the largest Poker Run in North America and draws boaters from all over the country. Weather permitting, we’ll be out along the route with our camera to capture the action. Poker Run participants get treated to a big party Saturday night at the Emerald Coast Conference Center.
Finally, Boat Week ends up with a Crab Island Party at Destin Pass on Sunday. For a detailed schedule and registration forms, please visit EmeraldCoastPokerRun.com.
Have fun and be safe!
