Celebrate BC Family Day in 2013 at the Vancouver Boat Show

Vancouver Boat Show

 

Enjoy new dates and extended hours at the 2013 Vancouver International Boat Show

Embracing BC’s new statutory Family Day Holiday, to be held the second Monday of February, the 2013 Vancouver International Boat Show will run from Thursday, February 7 to Monday, February 11.  Boat aficionados and novices alike will be able to explore the latest and greatest boats and marine products showcased by more than 250 exhibitors at Western Canada’s premiere boat show.
 
Show Director Linda Waddell says the decision to incorporate the inaugural BC Family Day Holiday – by shifting from the traditional Wednesday through Sunday boat show pattern to Thursday through Monday – was easy.  “The Vancouver International Boat Show has always focused on providing an experience the entire family can enjoy.  Parents and children can get up close to a wide range of boats and see which boats best suit their family; they can even enjoy a free boat ride at Granville Island.  To be able to hold the 2013 Show on BC’s first Family Day is incredibly exciting for our industry.”
 
The 2013 Show will be held at two great locations – indoors at BC Place and in-water at the Granville Island Maritime Market and Marina.
