Annapolis Powerboat Show
Date: 8 October 2026 – 11 October 2026
Location: Annapolis City Dock, Annapolis, United States
The Annapolis Powerboat Show takes over City Dock in downtown Annapolis, Maryland each October, and the 2026 edition runs October 8 to 11. Organizers expect more than 400 boats, from center consoles and cruisers to trawlers and performance models, most of them displayed in the water on floating docks so visitors can step aboard rather than peer over a rail. Onshore tents hold engines, electronics, gear and marine services. The show is produced by Annapolis Boat Shows, which stages the sailboat show at the same site the following week, making October the busiest stretch of the year on the Annapolis waterfront. Hours are 10am to 6:30pm from Thursday to Saturday and 10am to 5pm on Sunday. Annapolis is a compact, walkable town, and the show sits right in the middle of it, which is half the appeal.
