Car show chicago this weekend

The Chicago Auto Show is a fabulous annual tradition that returns to McCormick Place for ten days every February.

As someone who’s obsessed with road trips, I look forward to the Chicago Auto Show every year.

I see the shiny vehicles and instead of pieces of machinery. I see adventure, possibilities, and the open road.

The Chicago Auto Show is more than a static display of vehicles, although many of them, like the classic Corvette featured below from 2021’s summer show, can just sit there and look pretty.

There are interactive exhibits that make it a full, fun day for friends, family, and any driving enthusiast.

The Chicago Auto Show is the largest auto show in North America and an annual must-do tradition.

The first show took place in 1901 and the 2025 edition will be the 118th recurrence.

I’ve attended the Chicago Auto Show for fifteen of those years, and during that time I’ve learned a few things about making this show as enjoyable as possible.
