DULUTH — It’s time for the annual warmup for spring: the Duluth Sport Show is set for Feb. 16-19 at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.

Here’s your chance to kick some tires on a new camper, pick a summer fishing destination or dicker on a new boat.

The show has been an annual event in Duluth since 1966, except for 2021, when it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Duluth Sport Show is a combination of the Duluth Boat, Sports, Travel & RV Show and the Northland Outdoors Duluth Deer Classic. Each day includes a packed schedule of fishing, hunting and RV travel seminars from local and national experts in each field.
