CLEVELAND, OHIO --- The Lake Erie Marine Trades Association announced today that the return to the I-X Center of the 65th Progressive Cleveland Boat Show, presented by Toyota Tundra, has been rescheduled to March 17-20, 2022.


“This change reflects an abundance of caution considering the rise in cases of the Omicron variant and expected growth over the Christmas and New Year holidays,” said Michelle Burke, LEMTA president. “We look forward to presenting our show on the new March dates and we believe the boaters will respond as always.”


Burke also emphasized the show’s plans to increase the entertainment and hands-on activities planned for this January will not change. “In 2020, we reimagined the show by making it a more experiential family event. People loved it and will see more of those features in March,” Burke promised. “Everything from a Paddling Center with demonstration pool to a magic show in the expanded Kid’s Center, and more.”


Advance tickets purchased for the January show dates will be valid for the rescheduled show in March 2022. The boat show is Ohio’s oldest and largest boating and fishing exposition. It annually attracts some 50,000 visitors including thousands from surrounding states.
