The Chicago Auto Show runs February 13 through 21, 2027, at McCormick Place, 2301 S. King Drive, Chicago, IL 60616. It is the largest auto show in North America and the longest-running auto show in the country, marking its 119th edition in 2027. More than 800,000 attendees come through each year to see nearly 1,000 vehicle models on the floor.
The show is open to the public for its full nine-day run. There are no trade-only days.
What's on the Floor
Manufacturers bring new-model debuts, concept cars, and a heavy EV presence alongside the usual mix of trucks, SUVs, and passenger cars. Indoor and outdoor test tracks let attendees drive vehicles themselves rather than just look at them, and CHI-TOWN Alley showcases Chicago's own car culture and local automotive communities. First Look for Charity, a preview night ahead of the public run, has raised money for Chicago-area charities since the 1990s.
