Event coverage sponsored by Big O Tires Lake Havasu. 

Thousands turned out on McCulloch Boulevard Thursday to revel in the Desert Storm Street Party. Mega boats and haulers were on full display – many jaw-dropping examples of what will be seen on Lake Havasu over the weekend.

Friday morning, the high-performance boats participated in the Desert Storm Parade through the Bridgewater Channel.

Following the parade, drivers took off for the annual Poker Run picking up cards at various card stops on the Lake.

The Desert Storm Shootout was held Saturday morning near Site Six.
