Louisville Boat, RV & Sportshow 2027

The Louisville Boat, RV & Sportshow runs January 27–31, 2027 in Louisville.

What it is

This is a consumer boat and RV show open to the public, run by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) under its Discover Boating banner. It brings boats and RVs together with attractions and seminars.

The organizer described the 2026 show as having "a wide selection of boats and RVs, an abundance of must-see attractions, and fun features for all ages." NMMA also uses the show to promote its boat-certification program. The official show guide lists exhibitors, products, attractions and seminar schedules.

Hours

The show opens on a weekday evening and runs late most days:

• Wednesday, January 27: 5–9 p.m.
• Thursday, January 28 and Friday, January 29: noon–9 p.m.
• Saturday, January 30: 10 a.m.–9 p.m.
• Sunday, January 31: 10 a.m.–5 p.m.

Tickets and attractions

Each ticket admits one person for one day, so a multi-day visit needs a ticket for each day. You can buy tickets on the show's own website, which the organizer says is the only authorized online seller, or at the box office during the show. Children 12 and younger get in free with a paying adult.

At the 2026 show the attractions included a kids' catch-and-release trout pond, a paddle sports pool with stand-up paddleboard and kayak demo rides, Fred's Shed how-to center for boat and RV DIY questions, a Wake Zone for wakeboarding and wake-surf gear, and a Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife booth.
