Thousands of people will hit the docks over the next few days as the annual Discover Boating Norwalk Boat Show returns to Norwalk Cove Marina.
“It's a tradition for 50 years now," spokesperson Carrie Waible says. "A boat may be the one thing you can’t buy on Amazon today."
From yachts to kayaks, hundreds of boats will be on full display from Thursday to Sunday.
"Any single vessel that can get you out on the water," Waible says, "we have it here at the show."
Tickets are $20 for adults, while kids 12 and under get in for free.
Waible says there will also be tons of free water activities for kids like fishing demos, touch-tanks, a mini paddle boat lake and more.
"As connected as we are in today’s world," Waible says, "it’s really nice to just get out there, kick back, relax, be with friends and family and enjoy it."
