Countdown To Summer At The Marine Speciality Boat, Fishing & Hunting Show In Kansas!

There's good news for boaters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts: winter won't last forever. And Wichita is one of the best places to start the countdown to warmer days with the Marine Speciality Boat, Fishing & Hunting Show this weekend.

The show, presented by Beacon Marine, returns to the Century II Convention Center February 13–15, 2026, and is packed with boats, gear, and hands-on experiences. Show hours are:

- Friday, Feb. 13 from noon to 7 p.m.

- Saturday, Feb. 14 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

- Sunday, Feb. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The convention center will be filled with one of the largest indoor displays of boats and personal watercraft in the region, all available with special show pricing throughout the weekend. From wakesurf, fishing, and pontoon boats to luxury cruisers, personal watercraft, kayaks, and more, visitors can explore options for nearly any budget while taking advantage of manufacturer and dealer discounts before the summer season arrives.

Beyond boats, the family-friendly event offers a wide mix of fishing and hunting exhibits, along with liquidation pricing on tackle, boating accessories, and outdoor gear. Attendees can also connect with dock-building experts to help plan the perfect setup for a new boat, all under one roof.

Kids get in free and can enjoy nonstop entertainment all three days, including live stingray interactions, professional angler demonstrations from a fully stocked 40-foot aquarium, and appearances by well-known anglers across two demo stages. Additional attractions include the Kansas state record bluecat on display, a mechanical bull challenge, interactive contests, and wildlife and vintage outdoor exhibits.
