Boat Week is a weeklong celebration of boating, with the highlight event being the Emerald Coast Poker Run. The activities were designed for participation and enjoyment of our local community and all of our area visitors!
The Emerald Coast Poker Run is the Emerald Coast Foundation's flagship event and primary fundraiser. We have raised over one million dollars for local children's charities and youth organizations.
