Saint Paul Ice Fishing & Winter Sports Show December 4-6, 2026
Marking its 33rd anniversary, the Saint Paul Ice Fishing & Winter Sports Show presented by Ice Castle Fish Houses is back December 4-6 at Saint Paul RiverCentre. The show features over 190 exhibitors, including 29 new exhibitors, showcasing an array of fish houses, augers, underwater cameras, shelter lights, battery bags, float suits, heaters, digital fish finders, rods and reels, tackle, plastic bait, apparel, and more. The event offers deals for every budget, making it easier for visitors to finish their holiday shopping. The show, which draws thousands of visitors every year, welcomes a new premier sponsor, Ice Castle Fish Houses, a family-owned company known for its Minnesota-made fish houses and seasonal outdoor retreats.
“Ice fishing is a sport anyone can enjoy for life, and you don’t need much to get started so it makes an easy and affordable way to enjoy a weekend or a family staycation,” said Vilma Fraguada, Show Director for GS Media & Events. “We want people to get the most out of our lovely, long winters without breaking the bank.”
Renowned and respected ice fishing and outdoor brands will be back this year, including Ice Castle Fish Houses, ESKIMO, Reeds Family Outdoor Outfitters, Thorne Bros, Marine General, Joe’s Sporting Goods, Marcum Technologies, Otter Outdoors, and Up North Sports.
Among those making their show debut are Northern Capture Creations (featuring their Never Miss a Bite product), CAMSO Powersports, DUCERUP, HugaHeat, Bunk Structures, Wilcraft, and many more.
