Overview

Every year, the Philadelphia Auto Show fires up its engines and heads to the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

The ticketed, can’t-miss winter event — which dates back to 1902 — features tons of cool cars on display, test-drive opportunities (both outside and inside the venue) and more.

Attendees have the opportunity to view hundreds of vehicles, with most major manufacturers represented, from Toyotas and Chevys to McLarens and Alfa Romeos. Visitors can even pop open the hoods and hop inside most of the vehicles.

The Philadelphia Auto Show typically takes place each January.

La SEPTA Metro L line drops commuters one block south of the Convention Center’s Arch Street entrances via the 11th Street or 13th Street stations. Riders on the B line can get off at City Hall and walk two blocks east on Market Street to enter the Pennsylvania Convention Center between 11th and 12th streets.

Nearby Sites & Attractions

The Convention Center’s prime location makes taking in some other sites and attractions a breeze. The center sits on the edge of Philly’s Chinatown, home to plenty of AAPI-owned restaurants and boutiques, along with the famous Friendship Gate arch.

Conventiongoers who want to grab a snack or meal can head across the street to the iconic Reading Terminal Market — one of the nation’s oldest and largest public markets — a food hall with dozens of vendors, from restaurants and bakeries to ice creameries and delis, both sit-down and on-the-go.
