SAVE THE DATES
Mark Your Calendar - Future Dates! 

For many years, we have been working with Enercare Centre and Ricoh Coliseum to have the show dates moved from the historical early January pattern.

Due to the number of events and the tier system used for venue scheduling, plus long-term hotel contract commitments at the Sheraton and Westin for early January, the process has been complex and ongoing.

We have been working towards a date pattern where the show opens the third weekend of January (as it did in 2017).

For 2018, however, we were unable to secure the preferred date pattern, therefore the show will open the second weekend of January. For 2019 and beyond, the show will open on the third weekend.

Please mark your calendar
with these future Toronto Boat Show dates:
  • January 18 - 27, 2019
  • January 17 - 26, 2020
  • January 15 - 24, 2021
