Under its new banner name and parent company CANCAST Fishing, the 2023 CANCAST Fishing and Tackle Show will mark the official 2nd running of the Peterborough event.

The CANCAST Fishing and Tackle Show will be a hybrid event, featuring a new expo Industry EXPO side showcasing the latest products to hit the market from top industry manufacturers, top bait makers and some of Canada’s biggest retailers. On site the show will include some of the Top Fishing Guides, Fishing Charter Captains, Tournament Series Directors and top Industry Prostaff.

The event will also feature the largest used fishing and tackle swap meet in Eastern Ontario.

“We are beyond excited for this event to happen. We have secured both the Memorial Centre and the Morrow Building as well as a large outside section of the venue and it is going to more than triple our capacity limit,” says show promoter Kyle Carruthers. “We are excited to be working with the Memorial Centre for advanced ticket sales, and with fast entrance to the show, this should solve some of the hurdles we ran into at last year's event with the crowd. Honestly, I can’t wait to see Peterborough become the capital of fishing in Canada once again on April 2nd.”

Tickets are $11.30 (plus applicable fees/taxes, subject to change) and children under 12 are free. Tickets are on sale online, over the phone or in-person at the Grant Thornton Box Office.

The box office is open for in-person sales Wednesday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
