Southern Illinois Boat & Fishing Show
Sat, Jan 31 – Sun, Feb 01, 2026 • 9:00am - 3:00pm
1602 Sioux Drive, Marion, IL 62959
One of the largest selections of tackle, boats and RV's under one roof!
VisitSI and Oasis Outdoors have partnered together to present a great show packed with boats, trailers, campers, fishing tackle, educational sessions, live entertainment, and more!
Attendees must be present to win any big prize giveaways; sign-ups will be done during show hours in the visitSI booth. We will also be collecting canned goods, having door prize drawings on Friday night, live entertainment on Saturday afternoon, and continuing our Saturday and Sunday seminars instructed by local NFP organizations.
As one of the only free shows in the Midwest, the Boat and Fishing Show offers a combination of free parking, admission, and seminars for the whole family to enjoy. Thousands of people attend each year, proving that outdoor recreation is a way of life and a sure sign that spring is returning to Southern Illinois. The support of our vendors, media, and attendees allows us to continue to support two local charities with 100% of all proceeds from this event going to their organizations.
