Annapolis Boat Shows

Jan 14, 2021

While 2020 has been difficult for maritime shows everywhere, the Annapolis Boat Shows are alive and well and ready to take on 2021 with gusto and determination. The Annapolis Boat Shows have announced the next five-year dates for their fall shows. Their marquee fall shows will now take place on the same October weekends for the next five years. Many Canadians take in the Annapolis Show as a regular part of their fall.

The United States Powerboat Show will be held on the four days (Thursday to Sunday October 7-10, 2021) of the first full weekend in October, and the United States Sailboat Show will follow on the second full weekend (Thursday to Monday, October 14-18, 2021) at City Dock in Annapolis.

 A steering committee consisting of county health officials, representatives from economic development, city management, the boat show producers, and their contractors is on the horizon. Additionally, a 35-page health and safety manual has been drafted, along with logistics and protocols, to allow each show to run safely and productively.

Here is the five year schedule for the show.

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
