Know Before You Go: Duluth Sports Show 2025



What is it, exactly?

The Duluth Sport Show is a massive sports event that combines the Duluth Boat, Sports, Travel & RV Show with the Northland Outdoors Duluth Deer Classic. This means you get the best of it all.

Imagine rooms packed with vendors selling everything you could need for your outdoor adventures: bows, boats, RVs, fishing gear, and more. Plus, there are seminars to help you improve your skills, delicious food to enjoy, and even cooking presentations.

And if that’s not enough, you might even catch a glimpse of the show’s star attraction: a contortionist foot archer!

Let Me In!

Entrances to the show are via the City Side Door B and also a ticketed entrance from the Skywalk.

Accessible parking is available on the 3rd floor of the parking ramp where the Skywalk entrance is located.  Be careful to not take the Skywalk over to AMSOIL. The DECC Skyway entrance is located on the opposite side.

And, this is also where you can find all the kids’ fun, too. There are kids’ fishing seminars, face painting, and more!

The Food is Fantastic

There are people who come to the Sports Show because they’ve been thinking all year about Chef Jerry’s  Roast Beef Sandwichs –roasted on-site & sliced in front of you. And the last go-round, he upped the game by adding a housemade Pastrami Sandwich, too. It’s back, too.

This Beef & Beer area is located in the Lake Superior Ballroom upstairs and many other food options available in the Fitzgerald Hall deli.
