HDG Extreme Boat Docking
Dinghy Poker Run & Dock Whatcha Got
There’s more than one way to get in on the action! Along with the Extreme Boat Docking competition, we’re adding two fun ways for boaters to join the excitement — the Dinghy Poker Run and Dock Whatcha Got. Whether you’re cruising the river collecting your poker hand or ready to show the crowd what you can do at the dock, these events are all about getting out on the water, having some fun, and being part of an unforgettable day in Havre de Grace.
Who’s got the best hand on the water? Test your luck, outplay the fleet, and claim cash prizes at the 2026 HDG Riverfront Dinghy Poker Run!
