A quick look at all the major auto shows on the docket for 2024.
As of July 2023, Kelly Blue Book reported that the average transaction price for a new vehicle was $48,334. That figure is not likely to decrease any time soon when you factor in continued supply shortages, rampant inflation, and high interest rates. Even with this upward pressure, people are still clamoring for new rides with most automakers posting positive sales growth in 2023. As such, in-person auto shows remain an important part of manufacturers’ marketing efforts. Here is an updated schedule for key exhibitions that remain in 2023 and will be coming up in 2024.

Los Angeles Auto Show
(Automobility LA)
Los Angeles Auto Show: November 17-26, 2023
Los Angeles Convention Center
Los Angeles, California
The LA Auto Show returns as one of the premier exhibitions of California car culture. It will continue to pay homage to the past with exhibits like “The Garage” while also showcasing the industry’s latest advancements. There will also be plenty of opportunities for consumers to take test drives on various outdoor tracks.
Chicago Auto Show
Chicago Auto Show: February 10-19, 2024
McCormick Place
Chicago, Illinois
It may not have the flash of LA or New York or as much industry influence as Detroit, but Chicago is arguably the most important auto show where it truly counts: It consistently draws the most people who intend to purchase a new vehicle in the immediate future. Call us biased since this is Consumer Guide’s hometown show, but we don’t see that trend changing any time soon.
New York Auto Show
New York International Auto Show: March 29-April 7, 2024
Jacob K. Javits Center
New York City, New York
Residents from New York, New Jersey, and beyond pack Manhattan’s Javits Center for the city’s annual auto show. High-end manufacturers usually have a strong presence here, hoping to attract the region’s well-to-do clientele.
Detroit Auto Show
Detroit/North American International Auto Show: TBD
Huntington Place
Detroit, Michigan
While typically of less interest to consumers versus Chicago, LA, or New York, the North American International Auto Show has been revitalized as the preeminent exhibition for the industry as whole.

Montreal International Auto Show/Salon de L’Auto Montreal: January 19-28, 2024

Canadian International AutoShow
Canadian International AutoShow: February 16-25, 2024
Metro Toronto Convention Centre

Canada’s most well-attended auto show runs almost concurrently with the US version of the same (Chicago). Count on a similar range of exhibitions, including indoor test tracks and an exotic car gallery.
Cleveland Auto Show
Cleveland Auto Show: February 23-March 3, 2024
I-X Center
Cleveland, Ohio
Ohio is a major manufacturing and supply hub for both domestic and foreign manufacturers so we felt it would be important to include the state’s biggest auto show on this list.
Twin Cities Auto Show
Twin Cities Auto Show: March 30-April 7, 2024
Minneapolis Convention Center
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Minnesota may not be the first place you think of when it comes to the car business, but the state’s premier auto show is supported by 130 dealers in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul region.
Miami Auto Show
Miami International Auto Show: August 30-September 8, 2024
Miami Beach Convention Center
Miami Beach, Florida
As Florida continues to experience explosive population growth, count on more automakers to give the Miami Auto Show a second look as a place to exhibit their wares.
San Francisco Auto Show
San Francisco International Auto Show: November 27-December 1, 2024
Moscone Center
San Francisco, California
With California on-track to ban sales of cars with internal combustion engines, count on the San Francisco Auto Show to focus much of its space on EVs.

One auto show just isn’t enough for Texas. The first two take place in the state’s biggest metropolitan areas. The third runs concurrently with the Texas State Fair, the largest of its kind in the US. The State Fair show is of particular importance to automakers who produce full-size pickups since these rigs make up a large percentage of new-vehicle sales in the region.
CES
CES: January 9-12, 2024
Las Vegas Convention Center
Las Vegas, Nevada
Though not open to the general public, CES has been growing in prominence among automakers as a way to show off their visions for the future of mobility. Stallantis was slated to have a large presence at the show but had to pull out due to the UAW strike.
SEMA
SEMA Show: TBD
Las Vegas Convention Center
Las Vegas, Nevada
Manufacturers and third-party suppliers attending the SEMA Show take normal production vehicles and dress them up in all kinds of crazy and fun ways. While the show itself is not open to the public, there is a separate event called SEMA Fest that is.
