2026 11th Annual Poker Walk

11th Annual Poker Walk | June 8–12, 2026

Get ready to hit the streets of New Ulm in a whole new way. The 11th Annual Poker Walk is back—bringing together local businesses, community members, and a little friendly competition for a week of movement, connection, and fun.

Hosted by Wealth Management Solutions – Ameriprise, the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce, and Heart of New Ulm, this event highlights local businesses while promoting health and wellness throughout the community.

Here’s how it works:
5 local businesses will serve as stops along a designated walking route. Throughout the week (Monday–Friday), participants will visit five businesses per day to build their poker hand.

New this year: instead of collecting physical cards, participants will carry a Poker Walk tracking card. At each stop, the business will draw a card and record it directly on the participant’s card. At the end of the week, participants will turn in their completed card showing all five draws.

It’s simpler, smoother, and keeps the game fair for everyone.

For businesses, this is more than just a stop—it’s an opportunity. Each location will engage walkers with a simple activity, connect with new customers, and gain meaningful visibility during one of New Ulm’s most interactive community events.

Businesses, Register Here! Spots are limited and fill quickly, so early registration is strongly encouraged. Register by April 15th.
