The annual Lake Cumberland Poker Run revs back into action this weekend, celebrating its 20th year at State Dock Marina in Jamestown. The event runs September 10–13, 2026, drawing high‑performance boats and spectators from across the country for one of Kentucky’s largest boating gatherings.
Registration begins next Thursday afternoon, with boats departing next Friday to visit marinas around the lake before returning Saturday evening to draw their poker hands. Organizers say the weekend will feature dockside entertainment, live music, and after‑parties, with festivities continuing through Sunday.
The Poker Run is hosted by State Dock Marina, which encourages visitors to plan ahead and follow safety guidelines as thousands are expected to attend.
