If you are entertaining out-of-town guests, take them to the Lake Havasu Festival of Lights. Now in its 27th year, the Festival of Lights is a time-honored tradition to ring in the start of the Christmas holiday here in the desert.

Here in Lake Havasu City, we love any excuse to play outdoors. When you add a bit of gambling into the mix, it makes things really interesting. In the spring, we have the Desert Storm Poker Run. In September, the Monster Storm Poker Run. But if you still want more, let me guide you to a little thing called the Havasu Side x Side Poker Run. Still in it's infancy, this poker run may give the bigger events a run for their money soon.

Lake Havasu City sits roughly an hour and a half drive from Laughlin and a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Las Vegas. If you really have an itch to gamble, Havasu Landing is located on the California side of the lake. But we love it most when you put gambling together with our love of the water.

things to do in lake havasu: Lake Havasu Life Jacket Exchange
- 08/24/22 01:16 PM
Lake Havasu City began with one man's dream (sprinkled with a massive dose of business acumen)and that turned into the oasis in the desert we know today. Millions of people come from far and wide to play out on our lake each and every year. Following safety protocols helps keep injuries to a minimum while in, on, or above the water. Life jackets play a huge part in keeping everyone safe. But last year's model may not fit so well this year. If you find that to be the case right now, then you're in luck. The Lake Havasu Life Jacket … (0 comments)

There is always something to do here in Lake Havasu. Boating. Fishing. Offroading. Camping. We also love our poker runs. Whether on land or on water, these events combine our active lifestyles with just a smidge of gambling. And it always benefits a local charity (or two). The Hav-a-Sis organization put together their own version for us called the Twisted Poker Run. And it sounds like lots of fun!

Contrary to popular opinion, Cinco de Mayo is not the celebration of Mexican independence. Instead, it celebrates the anniversary of Mexico's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla. This year, Cinco de Mayo falls on a Thursday. But you can celebrate it here on Saturday (the siete de Mayo) at the Lake Havasu Latin Palooza 2022 in Lake Havasu State Park.

things to do in lake havasu: Desert Storm Poker Run 2022 Tickets on Sale Now!
- 02/09/22 11:38 AM
The lake is life here in Havasu. (#lakelife) But we also like to add a little gambling in with our play. I mean, a nice hour and a half trip up the Colorado River in your boat or PWC gets you to Laughlin. A two and a half hour car ride lands you right on the Vegas strip. So, when you partner boating with gambling, you hit a home run here. In the fall, that means the Monster Storm Poker Run. But in the spring, we host the Desert Storm Poker Run and Shootout. And tickets just went on sale.

January in Lake Havasu means only one thing: the Balloon Festival is back! Why travel hundreds of miles to Albuquerque when you can see hot air balloons right here in your own backyard?

things to do in lake havasu: Monster Storm Poker Run 2021 Stampedes Havasu
- 09/22/21 10:36 AM
Our lake stays busy pretty much all year round. Fishing, boating, parasailing, water-skiing, jet skiing. All of these take place 12 months a year in Lake Havasu. But some of the best stuff happens when the triple-digit heat of summer starts to taper off. Back in April, the Desert Storm Poker Run took over the lake. Next month, the Monster Storm Poker Run hits town.

things to do in lake havasu: 2021 AWSA PWC Championship This Weekend in Havasu
- 09/15/21 12:02 PM
The Lake Havasu lifestyle encompasses all sorts of outdoor sports. Offroading. Boating. Fishing. Automotive racing. Whatever you enjoy doing outside, you can do it here. Fortunately, most of these activities can also be done year-round. Can't say the same for the rest of the country. With Labor Day sitting squarely in our rearview mirror, pumpkin spice dreams should be dancing in your head while you wrap yourself in a nice warm sweater, right? Not in Havasu. In fact, as I write this post, the weatherman predicts our high temp should reach 100F today. Doff the sweater. Hold off on the pumpkin … (0 comments)

things to do in lake havasu: Havasu Home Show 2021
- 08/30/21 01:19 PM
The Lake Havasu real estate market looks like it may start leveling out here soon. In recent weeks, we saw some sellers adjust their prices to snag a buyer or two for the first time since before the pandemic first struck. Now, that does not mean that we suddenly shifted to a buyer's market. On the contrary, low inventory continues to spur the seller's market to a degree. But sellers find that it may take an extra week or two to find a buyer for their home. If you are considering selling your home soon or you just recently bought one … (1 comments)

Did you make it to the Desert Storm Poker Run last weekend? It was a blast. After the lull we experienced with events here in Havasu last year due to the global pandemic, I love seeing life (and fun) continue out on the lake. The weatherman predicts triple digits by the weekend. But the weather will not be the only thing that is hot. Pin those curls and roll up those sleeves. It's time for the Lake Havasu Rockabilly Reunion!

things to do in lake havasu: 2021 Havasu Half Marathon and 5K
- 03/24/21 01:03 PM
Havasu residents love the outdoors. Whether on the lake or on the land, the more time we spend outdoors, the better. Boating. (Reminder: the Lake Havasu Boat Show takes place next month.) Swimming, Fishing. Camping. Offroad racing. Bicycling. We love it all! One thing I never quite understood, though, was seeing people running along SR 95 in the triple-digit heat of summer. Now, those people, my friend, are dedicated! If you are one of those people, then the 2021 Havasu Half Marathon may be right up your alley. But if you are not quite up to that level yet, strap on … (0 comments)
