The 1000 Islands region truly is a boaters paradise! The City of Kingston, Ontario has played host to PRA’s 1000 Islands Poker Run for many years and has always proved to be a fantastic host city for this all-star event that attracts thousands of spectators and some of the fastest boats in the world. This is one of the most anticipated events for both participants and spectators! More than 80 performance boats will dock in Kingston’s Confederation Basin Marina for public display Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. View the boats up close on Friday afternoon until 10 pm on the docks or catch the downtown street boat display and exhibits in the park.
The Jumbo movie screen will be on Ontario street in front of Blu Martini both Friday and Saturday nights starting at Dusk showcasing poker run highlights and footage captured from the helicopter and drones.
Watch (and hear) the boats Saturday, August 10th at 10 am for the official poker run start or catch them upon their return to Kingston at approximately 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm. You can also view the boats from the water along the poker run route and card stops.
Saturday at 8:30pm you can be part of the poker run card unveiling on Ontario Street as the teams find out who has the best poker hand and declared the King/Queen of 1000 Islands.
