Chicago Auto Show

Car enthusiasts, get your engines revving: The Chicago Auto Show, the largest car show in North America, is set to return to McCormick Place for a special edition summer convention, taking place from July 15–19. As always, the event will showcase the latest and greatest developments in the world of cars, trucks, sport utility vehicles and concept cars. Manufacturers trot out their newest models in elaborate exhibitions, often accompanied by interactive installations that allow you to get behind the wheel—either physically or virtually. 

This year, in addition to regular programming, you'll also find expanded outdoor events like test drives, test tracks and other demos that will take place along Indiana Avenue and other surrounding streets. Other standbys, like new car displays, the annual Subaru pet adoption event and several indoor test tracks, will also be on hand, though a full roster of events hasn't been announced yet.
