Los Angeles Auto Show at the Convention Center

The Los Angeles Auto Show returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center this November, and it is one of the bigger things happening in Los Angeles before the holidays. Doors open Friday, November 20, 2026 at 8:00 AM, and the show stays up through Sunday, November 29.

When: November 20 to 29, 2026, listed from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Where: Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Tickets: Listed on AllEvents; check the official show site for the current price

What to expect

An auto show is a walk-through of what the car industry wants you to see next. Expect new models parked in staged displays, concept vehicles that may never reach a dealership, and plenty of chances to sit inside cars you would not normally get near. The halls are large, so plan on a few hours on your feet and comfortable shoes.

This listing covers the full ten-day run rather than a single day. We also have separate pages for the opening day and for the weekend of November 21 and 22, if you want to plan around one of those. For anyone scanning upcoming events in Los Angeles to fill a free Friday, opening day is usually the freshest look, while the second weekend is the busiest.

Planning your visit

The Convention Center sits at Figueroa and Pico in Downtown LA, next to the Pico Metro A and E Line station, which is the easiest way in. Event parking in the area fills up and costs more on show days, so riding transit or a rideshare saves a headache. Arrive early on weekends, when lines at the entrance and the popular displays grow quickly.

Hours can differ from day to day, and the AllEvents page lists 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM as the window for the run. Confirm the daily schedule and ticket prices before you go, since we could not find a published price on the listing. Be wary of resale sites that mark up admission, and buy from the official seller where you can.

If you are looking for LA events this weekend that suit a family, a car fan or a friend who just wants something indoors, the show works for all three. Pair it with a bite in South Park or a walk around the nearby L.A. Live area afterward.

Getting there

• Metro: Pico station (A and E Lines) is a short walk from the main entrance.
• Driving: expect event pricing at nearby lots; Figueroa Street backs up near the 10 freeway.
• Rideshare: use the designated drop-off areas along Figueroa to avoid blocked lanes.
