2023 Desert Storm Poker Run
Desert Storm Street Party has become famous in the performance boating world and well it should. Arguably the largest event on Havasu's Main Street, as a multi-million dollar presentation of extraordinary super-charged racing vessels from the world's top custom boat-builders are on display. You'll see massive 40-50' offshore racing boats as well as custom Center Console boats with 4-6 outboards motors on them.
Taking place in Lake Havasu City, AZ, Desert Storm was known in its infancy as the Spring Heat Wave. It was conceived by a small group of boaters (spearheaded by organizer Jim Nichols Sr.) in the 1990s who gathered once a year to romp around on Lake Havasu for a day. In the passing of decades, Nichols grew the event to an extravaganza lasting several days. Desert Storm also spun off a second Havasu event, the Halloween-themed Monster Bash.
