The Halifax Exhibition Centre will once again be transformed into an all-inclusive recreational boating showcase where visitors can explore the latest in runabouts, cruisers, sailboats, motor yachts, pontoon boats, fishing boats, inflatables, RIBS and personal watercraft. The show also offers exhibits of marine equipment, engines, outboard and inboard, marine electronics and accessories, docks and dock builders.

The Halifax International Boat Show has grown exponentially over the past 40 years . Whether being a visitor or exhibitor, the boating community of Nova Scotia has come to trust this keystone event. With over four successful decades under its belt, the show is only continuing to expand by including new products and features as the boating lifestyle evolves.

“This show has truly become a trusted staple for marine lovers in Nova Scotia” says Scott Sprague, Event Manager. “It’s been a pleasure getting to make connections year after year at the show. We’re excited to welcome back those familiar faces for this 40th edition.” 

Tickets are available now and can be purchased online or at the door during the show hours.  Regular adult admission is $12.00, Students & Seniors are $10.00, a Family pass is $30.00, and children under 12 are free of charge.
