As we enter the final weeks of the year, it’s time to start planning for the 2024 winter show season. Last year, many fishing and boating trade shows returned to their normal, pre-covid dates and venues, and very few, if any, shows have been postponed or cancelled this year.

2024 will inevitably bring more technological advances to fishing gear, from reels to electronics, and winter shows are often the first to showcase new and improved items. Finding and attending nearby shows that pique your interest can be overwhelming, but they’re a fantastic way to stay in-the-know during the winter months. To make things easier, we’ve compiled a running list of some of the biggest shows locally and regionally to help you plan ahead, whether you’re in Maine or Virginia. We’ll be updating the list as more show dates and venues are released.

Explore the current 2024 show list below for dates and locations in chronological order of occurrence by state.
