Travel, Sports & Boat Show

For more than 60 years, the Cincinnati Travel, Sports & Boat Show has been injecting Cincinnati winter with a dose of summer wanderlust.

Head to the convention center to check out vendors, dealers and exhibitors showcasing the latest goods, services and more to get you outdoors and into nature. There will be more than 300 boats, from canoes and kayaks to pontoons and wake boats, with demo pools, hunting dog seminars, outdoor outfitters, resorts, campgrounds, RV dealers, marinas, artisan snack makers and even a few taxidermists stuffed into 250,000 square feet.

Take part in an annual turkey calling contest, stop by the biergarten or head to the Adventure Sports area to shop for gear for your next rock-climbing, spelunking or scuba-diving adventure.
