Buellton Poker Run

Saturday, December 11th from 10am-2pm

What’s a Poker Run, you might ask? It’s an organized event in which participants, using a mode of transportation, visit five checkpoints throughout the town. At each checkpoint they draw a playing card, attempting to put together the best poker hand they can and assembling the hand together on their Game Card. Completed Game Cards are then returned to the Buellton Visitors Center and prizes will be awarded in 10 categories including the most festive team, so don your Santa hats, decorate your ride and have fun!

Game Cards may be purchased on the day of the event at the Buellton Visitors Center on the Avenue of Flags. Price is $20 for the first hand, and $5 for each additional. Play as many as you wish!
