2019 Adelaide Boat Show finds a new home
Adelaide Convention Centre will host this year’s South Australian recreational boating extravaganzaSouth Australia’s annual boating showcase is moving. The Adelaide Boat Show is leaving the showgrounds location it has used for several years for the bright city lights – and big halls – of the Adelaide Convention Centre.
The Boating Industry Association, the industry group behind the event, said the move to the heart of Adelaide’s Riverbank district “promises an inspiring and diverse exhibition of marine craft and accessories for anyone who loves boating, or aspires to spend more time on the water”.
This year’s show runs from June 28-30.
BIA president Alan Blake said moving the show from Adelaide Showgrounds to the convention centre opened up new doors of opportunity for the event.
Vibrancy of boating
“This venue reflects the vibrancy, diversity and popularity of the boating lifestyle across South Australia,” Blake said.
“Having the exhibition at such a convenient location, close to the city, with vast exhibition space has meant that we as an industry can further develop the show along with the accessibility of boating in general,” he said.
“From high-end watercraft, to practical fishing vessels, tinnies and kayaks, more than ever the Adelaide Boat Show remains a fun family day out, representing an exciting weekend for everyone who loves boating on the fabulous waterways and coastal areas in this great part of Australia.”
Prompting the move was the realisation that the Adelaide Showgrounds venue hat hit capacity.
Tickets to the show are $10 for adults, with children aged between six-17 years costing $5. Children aged 5 years old and younger are admitted free when accompanied by an adult.
