The Cleveland Boat Show is staying at the I-X Center!
After more than a year of advocacy and work to protect the future of Northeast Ohio’s consumer and trade-show economy, we are proud to share that the 70th Progressive Cleveland Boat Show will return to the I-X Center January 14–17, 2027.
For seven decades, the Cleveland Boat Show has brought families together, introduced generations to boating and supported dealers, manufacturers, vendors, union labor and thousands of jobs throughout Northeast Ohio.
We are tremendously grateful to Dee and Jimmy Haslam and the entire Haslam Sports Group team for recognizing the importance of these events and taking action to preserve them. Their commitment allows the Cleveland Boat Show to remain at the I-X Center while creating a bridge to its future home in the new enclosed stadium in Brook Park.
This is a big win for Ohio’s marine industry, our members and our community.
The shows will go on. See you at the I-X Center in January!
