Los Angeles Auto Show: Saturday and Sunday, Nov 21-22

The Los Angeles Auto Show takes over the Convention Center downtown again this month, and the weekend is when most people go. If you are sorting through things happening in Los Angeles for the back half of November, Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd are the two days this page covers.

When: Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22, 2026 (listed start time 8:00 AM, confirm the real hours before you go) Where: Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Tickets: Not listed on the source page, so check the official show site

What to expect

An auto show is a walk through the year in cars. Automakers fill the halls with new production models, concept vehicles and, increasingly, electric trucks and SUVs you can climb into and poke at. Brands set up their own floor space, so a visit is less a straight line and more a loop: pick the manufacturers you care about, then wander into the ones you did not plan on.

Weekends draw families, car clubs and people who just like looking at shiny things, so expect crowds around the headline displays. If you want a closer look at a particular model, go early in the day or head to the smaller booths first and come back to the big ones later. It is one of the more family-friendly upcoming events Los Angeles has on the November calendar, and kids tend to last longer here than at most trade shows because there is so much to sit in and press.

Planning your visit

The listing only gives a date and a placeholder start time, with no published price or hours. Treat the 8:00 AM start as a rough marker and check the official show page for door times, ticket tiers and any discounts for kids, seniors or military. Buy ahead if the site offers it, since weekend lines at the box office can eat into your morning.

Getting there

The Convention Center sits at Pico and Figueroa in the South Park area of downtown. The Metro A and E lines stop at Pico Station, a short walk from the entrance, which beats paying for event parking. Rideshare drop-off works best on the Figueroa side. Driving means paying for a nearby garage, and prices climb on show days, so a train ride is usually the easier call.

Wear comfortable shoes. The halls are big, the floors are hard, and a full pass through the show is easily a few miles of walking. Bring a light layer too, since the interior air conditioning runs cold even when the weather outside is mild.

If you only have time for one day, Saturday tends to be the busiest and Sunday a touch calmer, though neither is quiet. Either way, it is a solid pick when you are scanning LA events this weekend and want something indoors, big and a little loud.
