Think “Boating” over the holidays!

CHICAGO – All Hands on Deck! Cruising into the Windy City January 10-14, the 2024 Discover® Boating Chicago Boat Show, in partnership with Progressive® Insurance, a nearly century-old tradition is returning. As one of Chicago’s most iconic events and a Midwest boating destination, the 2024 Chicago Boat Show is ready to welcome boating enthusiasts and newcomers to discover why life is better on the water.  

The Discover® Boating Chicago Boat Show hosts everything needed for a fun day on the water – from sales on hundreds of the newest power boats and latest in boating products, to fishing gear, accessories and marine electronics. The event transforms McCormick Place into a boating marketplace and nautical oasis in the middle of winter and is the ideal place to explore and plan for your next boating adventure.

Highlights of the 2024 Discover Boating Chicago Boat Show include several opportunities to “test the waters” indoors and discover the boat life, including the Discover Boating Beach Club featuring a paddlesports pool and daily entertainment for all ages, educational opportunities, and the new Bumper Boats pool.

“The Discover® Boating Chicago Boat Show is an annual Midwest boating tradition, attracting thousands of visitors to the Windy City each year to explore the best in boating,” said Darren Envall, Show Manager and NMMA Vice President of Midwest Boat and Sport Shows. “We can’t wait to welcome back longtime boat show fans and new attendees, many of whom purchased boats over the pandemic. There’s no better place to discover boating, buy your dream boat and plan for your next adventure on the water!”
