Get ready for one of Crystal Beach’s most anticipated traditions! The 2026 Golf Cart Poker Run rolls out on August 1st, bringing a full day of family fun, community spirit, and coastal cruising along the Bolivar Peninsula. Each year this event draws locals and visitors together, and 2026 is no different—expect decorated carts, creative costumes, and plenty of good vibes as participants make their way to multiple stops at favorite area restaurants.

This annual fundraiser does more than bring smiles; 100% of the proceeds go directly back into the community, supporting Bolivar Peninsula’s 3 local schools and 3 volunteer fire departments. It’s fun for a cause, and every hand helps make a difference.

Dress up, deck out your golf cart, and show off your style! Prizes will be awarded for the best decorations and themed carts, adding an extra layer of friendly competition as you roll from stop to stop. The day wraps up bayside at Stingaree Restaurant, where the final card draw and a lively auction close out this unforgettable Bolivar Peninsula tradition.

Join us August 1st for a coastal celebration of creativity, community, and summertime fun—Bolivar Peninsula style!
