The Nor’easter took StriperFest off the calendar, but it isn’t taking the grand prize boat drawing with it. We’re going live from OTW Headquarters to close out the 2026 Striper Cup. Join us live as we host StriperFest 2026 with giveaways, exclusive discounts, and award the Grand Prize to one lucky Striper Cup participant!
