The Leverick Bay Poker Run is an annual powerboat event that takes place in the British Virgin Islands. Participants in the event navigate a pre-determined course by boat, stopping at various locations to collect playing cards. At the end of the run, participants assemble their best five-card poker hand from the cards they have collected, and prizes are awarded for the best hands.
Known for its festive atmosphere, the popular event includes a party with live music, food, and drinks, and attracts a mix of residents and visitors from around the world.
VISAR's Swim & SUP is a fundraising event organized by the Virgin Islands Search and Rescue (VISAR). The event involves a 2-mile open water swim and a 2.5-mile stand-up paddleboard (SUP) race.
Participants of all skill levels are welcome to join the event that attracts both residents and tourists who are passionate about water sports and supporting a good cause. The funds raised from the event go towards VISAR's ongoing efforts to provide search and rescue services, medical evacuations, and other critical support to the BVI community.
This annual event offers participants a unique opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the islands while contributing to a meaningful cause.
King Charles III is King of the United Kingdom and the 14 other Commonwealth realms. Charles was born in Buckingham Palace during the reign of his maternal grandfather, King George VI, and became heir apparent when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, acceded to the throne in 1952.
King Charles III actual birthday is 14 November, 1948.
Why does the monarch have two birthdays? Simply put, the monarch traditionally has two birthdays due to British weather. As the monarch's birthday is typically celebrated with outdoor events, such as Trooping the Colour, it makes more sense to celebrate in the summer, when there's a greater chance of nice weather.

Worldwide, poker runs have become the on-sea adventure of choice for boaters and boating enthusiasts alike. The Virgin Islands, however, has become unmatched in presenting the exciting event thanks to our topography: many islands, islets and cays within close sailing distance of each other and established businesses on each land mass to accommodate the mass influx of players and partiers at the selected stops.
Coupled with our natural beauty, the waters that range from tranquil to spirited, the many boat owners resident and the enthusiasm shown by neighbouring islands like the U.S.V.I, Anguilla, St. Martin/St. Maarten and others, the Virgin Islands’ poker run is undoubtedly the best in the region.
Formerly known as Territory Day, Virgin Islands Day reflects a renewed sense of national consciousness and represents an effort to assert the unique identity of Virgin Islanders.
