8th Annual Hartwell Lake Ladies Jet Ski Ride

WHEN: Friday, August 7, 2026
WHERE: Meet at Party Island @ 12 pm
WHAT: Leave Party Island at 12:15 pm to parade through the Marina and head to The Grill at Clemson Marina (make sure to idle through the marina!)

EVENT DETAILS:

Meet at Party Island by 12 pm and get ready for the ride! Please follow the lead boat at 12:15 pm to start our parade through the marina, leading us to lunch.

Arrive at The Grill at Clemson Marina for a buffet-style lunch, provided by First Bank/Laura Thompson, for registered riders and business sponsors. Follow the pink carpet to the buffet line and wear your event shirt as your meal ticket. We will have music and The Grill at Clemson Marina will donate 10% of proceeds to The Cancer Association of Anderson! A Quick meal means more time on the water!

After lunch, listen for your cue to take our traditional group picture! We'll ride back to Party Island to hang out and raft up - the perfect way to keep everyone together and celebrate the day.

Then grab your spouse, family, and friends and meet us at 6 pm at La Cantina on Hartwell Lake (formerly El Arriero at the Shores) for a dinner and live music. They'll provide the DJ and donate 10% of proceeds to The Cancer Association of Anderson! DJ Kingdomatik will be back by popular demand!
