Cincinnati’s Beloved Winter Tradition Returns – Your Bridge to Spring and Summer Adventures!
There’s something truly special about the Cincinnati Travel, Sports & Boat Show. For 67 years, it’s been the heartwarming event that families across the region look forward to every winter – a joyful gathering that chases away the chill and ignites excitement for the warm days ahead. It’s more than a show; it’s the perfect bridge from cozy winter nights to sunny spring and summer escapes on the water, the open road, and beyond.
This January, our favorite tradition returns bigger and brighter than ever at the beautifully renovated Cincinnati Convention Center in downtown Cincinnati. From January 23-25 and January 28-February 1, 2026, step inside and feel the promise of adventure calling your name!
Imagine walking through rows of gleaming 2026 boats – the strongest lineup we’ve ever had. Whether you’re dreaming of quiet fishing mornings, lazy pontoon days with the family, versatile runabouts for all-around fun, thrilling wakeboarding sessions, or high-performance runs across the lake, you’ll find your perfect match here. Climb aboard, sit behind the wheel, compare side-by-sides, and picture your family making memories that will last a lifetime.
And the best part? This is the place to make it happen. With hundreds of new boats and RVs on display, exclusive show pricing, and on-site financing experts ready to help, you can drive away with your dream before the first spring bloom. Why wait when the deals are this good and the selection this incredible?
The RV showcase is larger than ever, too – from cozy, affordable trailers perfect for weekend getaways to luxurious motorhomes designed for epic cross-country journeys. Discover off-grid options, family-friendly layouts, and everything in between.
Need a little travel inspiration? Wander through vibrant booths filled with lake resorts, mountain lodges, exotic African safaris, and hidden gems closer to home. Talk directly with experts, gather brochures, and start mapping out those 2026 vacations the whole family will cherish.
