Massachusetts KIDS Boating and Fishing Week – June 6-14
The Massachusetts Marine Trades Association (MMTA) just announced that “Massachusetts KIDS Boating & Fishing week” will take place from June 6 to 14, 2026. This event encourages and promotes youth boating and fishing events around the state. Now in its eighth year, there are currently seven registered events participating in 2026.
The dates of Massachusetts Kids Boating & Fishing week once again coincide with Great Outdoors Month. One of the key objectives for Massachusetts KIDS Boating & Fishing week events is to highlight what boating and fishing industry organizations and businesses offer kids in the state and to introduce news kids to the water, according to the organization. Approximately 70% of adult boaters started boating when they were kids, and the MMTA recognizes that the more kids we can get on the water in a safe and smart manner today, the better off our industry will be tomorrow. Please note the current registered events run from May 30th to June 19th.
