Pirates of Lake Lanier 2025

Pirates of Lanier 2025 is under new management
The essence of Pirates of Lanier Charity Poker Run will be the same, but this year will be a little different. It will still take place at Margaritaville on Friday and Saturday, September 11-13.
With new management, and a brand-new Facebook page, registration is live on Eventbrite. Just go to eventbrite.com and search “Lake Lanier Poker Run.”
“We’re planning to have the same great event as always, but we’re revamping it this year with a new logo, a slimmed down schedule and a focus on two new charities,” said Zach Martin, who with his family and a group of friends, is managing the event this year. “Our family participates in about 20 pokers runs each year all over the country, so we’re taking what we’ve learned to create a fun and family-friendly two days at Lake Lanier.”
Martin calls it two events in two days. Friday evening’s Street Party in the parking lot at Grand Hall at Lanier Islands includes a DJ, street vendors and food trucks. It will be preceded by a photo session at the dam during the day. More info
