Discover Boating® Chicago Boat Show
The Discover Boating® Chicago Boat Show, running from January 8–12, 2025, is set to take place at its new venue, the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. After years at McCormick Place, the show has moved to better accommodate the growing demand from both exhibitors and attendees in the greater Chicagoland area. This location is centrally positioned, just 15 miles from downtown Chicago, offering easier access, nearby hotels, restaurants, and ample parking.
This family-friendly event is a must-attend for anyone interested in recreational boating or water sports, from seasoned boaters to first-time enthusiasts. The show features a wide range of attractions, including everything from kayaks and fishing boats to luxury yachts and personal watercrafts. Attendees will have the chance to explore the latest boats, attend live demonstrations, and participate in interactive activities.
New for 2025, the show will continue its focus on hands-on experiences, offering opportunities to board the boats, speak with exhibitors, and explore new marine technology. It also includes a variety of family-friendly activities, making it an enjoyable day out for all ages.
