Chicago Auto Show 2027

The Chicago Auto Show 2027 will take place from February 13–21, 2027 at McCormick Place Convention Center, 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL. Organized by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), it is the largest auto show in North America, with more exhibit space and editions than any other auto exposition.

Visitors will see over 1,000 vehicles including domestic and imported passenger cars, SUVs, trucks, concept cars, and competition vehicles. The show is renowned for world and North American debuts, making it a key stage for manufacturers to unveil their latest models.

Special attractions include indoor EV test tracks, outdoor test drives, and immersive exhibits such as Chi‑Town Alley, which celebrates Chicago’s car culture, and Overlanding Chicago, showcasing adventure vehicles and gear. Family‑friendly zones ensure the event appeals to all ages.

The show also hosts the First Look for Charity Gala, a black‑tie fundraising event held on the eve of the public opening, which has raised millions for local charities.
