OXFORD, AL — The city of Oxford is set to welcome boating enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers to the inaugural East Alabama Boat Show at Quintard Mall. The free event will run from March 14-16, offering a variety of exhibits, seminars, and special deals for attendees.
AmFirst Bank is the title sponsor and official lender of the show, which will feature a wide array of boats, motors, personal watercraft, marine accessories, ATVs, kayaks, and boat dock systems. Special on-site pricing and financing will be available for those looking to make a purchase.
In addition to the merchandise showcase, the event will include family-friendly activities, daily prizes, and educational seminars on boating and outdoor recreation.
Event organizer Thomas Shelton highlighted the affordability and accessibility of the show, emphasizing that admission and parking are completely free. “It would take $100 or more for a family to attend other boat shows of this nature,” Shelton said. “No one is making any money from the event itself. Vendor fees are going straight back into marketing and advertising. This is strictly to support businesses and encourage people to shop in Oxford.”
Shelton also noted that Quintard Mall is providing the outdoor space for the event at no cost, allowing visitors to explore the newly renovated mall and its food court vendors while attending the show.
