New York Boat Show Moves To Mid-December

by Jennifer Dennard

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), sponsor of the New York National Boat Show, has moved the date of the event to Dec. 13-21, 2008 — almost two weeks earlier than originally planned — in order to better attract visitors and exhibitors whose holiday/vacationing plans may have otherwise prevented them from attending.

The show will be held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. Admission for those 16 and up is $15; 13-15, $8; and 12 and younger are free when accompanied by an adult. Two-day tickets are $25.
