Upcoming Wobble Island Events

Lake-A-Palooza

Sunday, September 6, 2026

Lake-A-Palooza is Wobble Island's signature annual fundraiser and one of Lake Gaston's favorite Labor Day weekend traditions. Guests enjoy an afternoon of live entertainment, boating, raffles, food, merchandise, and unforgettable memories on the water.

This year's event features music from Shep Moss aboard the party boat and an opening performance by Cole Coleman, along with exciting raffle prizes and exclusive Wobble Island merchandise.

Whether you're attending for the first time or returning each year, Lake-A-Palooza is a celebration of community, generosity, and everything that makes Lake Gaston special.

Poker Run

Saturday, September 19, 2026

The annual Wobble Island Poker Run combines boating, adventure, and friendly competition into one unforgettable day.

Participants travel to several popular waterfront destinations around Lake Gaston, collecting poker cards at each stop before returning to Wobble Island for the final card draw, prizes, and celebration.

It's one of our most anticipated events of the year and a great way to enjoy the lake while supporting local charitable initiatives.
