This is an affordable show where Mom, Dad, and the kids can get in the door at a great price.  Admission to the show is $6.00 for adults, $4.00 for seniors, and $3.00 for kids age 7 to 13; little anglers age 6 and under are free.  Held each year at the Tinley Park High School, this show offers over 140,000 square space of exhibitor space and has ample free parking. 


Exhibitors from several states come to this show to sell just about everything made for fishing and outdoor fun.  There are vacation resorts represented from Canada to Kentucky, charter fishing trips can be booked for the Great Lakes in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio.  Fishing clubs will be at the show and numerous guide services will offer fishing trips for Crappie, Bass, Walleye and Muskie.

In addition to the great exhibitors, there will be fishing seminars and demonstrations.  This year anglers can sit in on seminars for crappie, bass, walleye and musky.  On the stage you’ll see demonstrations on dog training, reptiles and much more.  Again this year will be a raffle where you can win a boat, motor and trailer or one of many other great prizes.


The Tinley Park Athletic Booster Club puts together what is now known as one of the largest outdoor shows in the greater Chicagoland area.  The Tinley Park Fishing and Outdoor Show supports all of the student athletes at the Tinley Park High School.  With a show that draws literally thousands of visitors, the big shows are taking notice. 


Adding to the show’s success is the support given from sponsors like Plano Molding, Cableas, Mercury Marine, Bettenhausen Motor Sales, Chauncey’s Great Outdoors, Ranger Boats, and Lowrance Electronics.  The hard work and dedication from the parents and the students is what pulls this show together; their selfless efforts bring exhibitors and visitors back year after year.


 The show is held at the Tinley Park High School, 6111 W. 175th Street, just east of Ridgeland, in Tinley Park, Illinois.  To see a map with directions to the show, a list of exhibitors, the seminar schedule and more, visit the Tinley Park Fishing and Outdoors Show web site at www.TinleyParkFishingShow.com.
