The Philadelphia Auto Show, also known as the Philadelphia International Auto Show is an annual auto show held in early February in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The 2016 Philadelphia Auto Show is January 30-February 7.

Show Info

The show debuted in 1902. The show is currently owned by the Automobile Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia. It was held in the old Philadelphia Convention Hall and Civic Center on 34th Street in University City.

The Philadelphia Auto Show is owned and produced by the Automobile Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia, and held annually at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Auto Show has grown dramatically over the past seven years, welcoming more than 250,000 visitors each year.[1] The Auto Show exit survey shows 48% of the area’s new car sales are directly influenced by the show.[1] The show, which fills all 700,000 square feet (65,000 m2) of the Convention Center, features over 700 vehicles with a laundry list of new vehicle debuts, concepts, exotics, tuners and antique automobiles.

The Black Tie Gala

The Philadelphia Auto Show's Black Tie Tailgate Preview Gala is held on the Friday night prior to the start of the auto show. Ticket proceeds from the Black Tie Gala benefit The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHoP) through the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation, which contributes funding and resources for child-related programs and causes throughout the Philadelphia region.

The 2016 Black Tie Tailgate is January 29. This year's beneficiary is the Division of Neurology at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
