In Rimini, the most comprehensive range ever for sport fishing, boating and outdoor activities.

The sport and recreational fishing, recreational boating and outdoor communities are gearing up to set course for Rimini for the next edition of Pescare Show, taking place from 12 to 14 February 2027 at the Rimini Exhibition Centre.

Building on the strong results achieved at the previous edition—with over 160 brands exhibiting, a 40% increase in total visitor numbers and a 70% rise in international attendance—the event returns with an even richer and more dynamic format, reaffirming its position as Europe’s most comprehensive and representative trade show for all disciplines across the sector.

Six Halls for an Ever More Immersive Experience

Pescare Show is expanding across six exhibition halls, with more space dedicated to boating and outdoor activities. The special areas are confirmed, including the Casting Pools for demonstrations and casting trials, and the Fly Tying Experience, in collaboration with H2O Magazine, dedicated to fly tyers and featuring the Fly Tying Workshop sessions and Fly Fishing Flash Talks. The Content Hub will showcase the latest innovations from exhibiting companies, while the Acquademo, a mobile aquarium for product testing, and the Social Media Village will serve as meeting points for enthusiasts and industry professionals. The FIPSAS Village will offer activities for younger visitors focused on fishing, outdoor pursuits and water conservation.

A key new feature of the layout will be the South Hall, transformed into a Welcome Village featuring the Live Streaming Stage, a photographic exhibition on Patagonia curated by H2O Magazine, and the Fishing Arena, the event’s new institutional hub. Here, in collaboration with FIPSAS (the Italian Federation for Sport Fishing, Underwater Activities and Fin Swimming) and the Emilia-Romagna Region, discussions will address the industry’s key industrial, regulatory and environmental issues.

An Increasingly International Event

Pescare Show 2027 is stepping up its focus on business, further strengthening its role as an international trade platform. IEG is expanding its hosted buyer programme, designed to foster strategic connections between exhibitors and trade visitors, international buyers and dealers. The aim is to bring supply and demand together and create new business opportunities.

The event’s international positioning is further reinforced by institutional partnerships with international organisations, including IGFA (International Game Fish Association) and EFFA (European Fly Fishing Association).

At national level, IEG has established a new partnership with SNIM – Salone Nautico di Puglia, aimed at promoting the development of recreational boating and sport fishing within the Blue Economy, with a particular focus on coastal sustainability.

Road to Pescare Show: Upcoming Events

As the local area prepares to welcome Pescare Show 2027, with activities extending beyond the exhibition centre thanks to synergies with local partners, including the Rimini Yacht Club, the event’s tour continues in support of major competitive fishing tournaments, in collaboration with FIPSAS and industry partners.

Upcoming events include the Classic Spin Master, organised in partnership with Inside Fishing ASD on 15 November in Bagno di Romagna, and the second edition of the Trofeo dei Laghi, a team competition organised in collaboration with Match Fishing S.R.L. The final will take place at Lake Pascoli in San Mauro Pascoli (FC) during Pescare Show. The top three finishers in both competitions will be awarded on the event’s stage in February 2027.
