Explore by land or water, solve clues, complete challenges, and compete for prizes. - Live Music, Vendors & Raffles
Enjoy local vendors, games, giveaways, and entertainment throughout the day. - Night of Lights Celebration

Certified Boat Safety Checks will also be available at participating marinas, helping our community start the boating season safely.
Activities take place at popular Lake Lanier destinations including Margaritaville, Pelican Pete’s, Pig Tales, Twisted Oar, University Yacht Club, and additional partner locations around the lake.
Every registration, raffle ticket, and donation directly supports GA K9 SAR’s training, equipment, and operational readiness. Your participation helps ensure our volunteer K9 teams remain prepared to respond when our community needs us most.
Grab your crew and kick off summer while supporting a mission that serves a locally owned nonprofit!
