It’s never too early to start dreaming about spring! One popular event that happens every year to turn our minds to spring is the Progressive Insurance Minneapolis Boat Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center, this year from January 24 – 27.
As always, the event is full of education and family-friendly events including:
- NEW! Twin Cities Beach Bash, featuring a display of past winners of the Milk Carton Boat Race and an all-new, marine-themed Sandcastle. Children are invited to make their own milk carton boats or help with creating the sand sculpture.
- NEW! Discover-A-Boat scavenger hunt, in which little skippers are invited to explore the show floor, navigating the Discover-A-Boat map to find recreational boats of all kinds. Participants can hand in their completed maps for prizes, while supplies last.
- Boating Skills Virtual Trainer, which allows you to take the helm of a virtual boat and sharpen your driving, docking, and other important skills.
- Antique & Classic Boat Display, a fan favorite returning this year with an impressive display of antique and classic boats from old wooden beauties to quirky crafts from days gone by.
- Island Lifestyle Experience, delivering a tropical oasis for attendees to put up their feet and relax, enjoy refreshments and listen to live music.
- Contests and giveaways each day of the show, including a chance to win a new Sea-Doo Spark!
