New York International Auto Show 2027

The New York International Auto Show opens to the public on Friday 26 March 2027 and runs through Sunday 4 April 2027 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Manhattan’s West Side. It is open every day of that span, including Easter Sunday on 28 March.

The organizer’s homepage lists more than 700 vehicles on display and 1 million square feet of exhibit space. Most of the floor is new models from the manufacturers, with test tracks, exotic car displays and themed exhibits around them.

Two press and industry preview days come first, on Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 March. Those days need credentials and are not open to the public.

Dates and hours

The organizer’s FAQ lists these public hours for 2027:

• Monday to Thursday: 10am to 8pm
• Fridays and Saturdays: 10am to 10pm
• Sundays, including Easter Sunday: 10am to 7pm

That gives you two Fridays (26 March and 2 April) and two Saturdays (27 March and 3 April) open until 10pm.

Early Access ticket holders get in at 9am on Fridays and Saturdays, an hour before general admission.

The official opening ceremony and ribbon cutting is on Saturday 27 March 2027 in the Crystal Palace, at the 35th Street and 11th Avenue entrance. The FAQ lists it at 9:30am to 10am. The show’s plan-your-visit page says festivities begin at 8:30am, so arrive early if you want to see it.

Tickets

The organizer’s FAQ, updated for the 2027 show, lists these prices:

• General admission, ages 13 and over: $22
• General admission, ages 3 to 12: $8
• Children 2 and under: free with a paid adult
• Early Access, 9am entry on Fridays and Saturdays: $48 adult, $18 child

General admission is sold online and at cashless self-serve kiosks inside the Javits Center. Early Access is online only. The organizer encourages buying ahead to skip the kiosk lines and does not expect tickets to sell out.

Group rates are offered. The FAQ lists $18 per adult for 20 or more tickets and $5 per child for 10 or more children with adult chaperones, ordered through tickets@autoshowny.com. The show’s separate ticket page lists slightly different group prices, $19 and $6, so confirm the rate when you order.

Guided tours are two hours long, led by an automotive industry insider, for groups of up to 30. You pick the day, time and guide. Tour prices are not listed in the FAQ.

Tickets are final and non-refundable, but you can transfer them to friends or family. Each ticket is good for one entry.

Subway, train, ferry and parking

The Javits Center is at 429 11th Avenue, between 34th and 40th Streets. The main show entrance is at 35th Street and 11th Avenue. A second entrance is at 37th Street and 11th Avenue.

• Subway. The 7 train ends at 34th Street-Hudson Yards, on 11th Avenue.
• Penn Station. LIRR, NJ Transit, Amtrak (at Moynihan Train Hall) and the A, C, E, 1, 2 and 3 lines all reach the Penn Station area. The show says the walk west on 34th Street to 11th Avenue takes about 15 minutes.
• Grand Central. From Metro-North or LIRR at Grand Central Madison, take the 7 train to its last stop.
• Bus. The M34 Select Bus runs along 34th Street and stops on 11th Avenue outside the center. The M42 runs along 42nd Street, stops directly outside, and connects Grand Central and the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
• Ferry from New Jersey. NY Waterway runs from Port Imperial in Weehawken to the West 39th Street terminal across from the center. The show puts the crossing at 8 minutes, with a free shuttle to the entrance. A combined ferry and admission ticket is sold through the show.
• NYC Ferry. The St. George route stops at Midtown West/Pier 79, about a half-mile walk.

There is no on-site public parking. A limited number of spaces may be available for holders of a government-issued disability parking permit. Call Javits Safety and Security at (212) 216-2196 to ask.

The show’s parking partner is SpotHero, which offers reserved spaces at nearby garages. The show also lists garages within walking distance, including Icon Parking at 501 West 41st Street (open 24 hours) and iPark at 515 West 36th Street (6am to midnight). Garage rates are not published by the show.

What to see

The 2027 exhibit list has not been announced. The organizer’s site still lists its 2026 experiences, which show what a typical year includes:

• EV Test Track. Ride-alongs in electric and hybrid models. Riders must be at least 8 years old and at least 57 inches tall, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian.
• Camp Jeep. An indoor off-road course.
• Kids EV Test Track. A track for younger visitors.
• Exotic cars. The 2026 show had a six-car McLaren display.
• Tuner car culture. In 2026, a section for custom builds, aftermarket parts, JDM cars and drift cars.
• Subaru Loves Pets and R2Xpo’s Rides and Rigs.

Most manufacturers let you sit in their cars. Concepts and some exotic displays may be off limits. You cannot buy a car at the show. The organizer points buyers to local dealers instead.

Before you go

Everyone walks through a metal detector at the entrance and every bag is searched. Leave knives, pocketknives, box cutters and other metal tools at home. Confiscated items go to the NYPD 10th Precinct.

There is no re-entry once you leave the Javits Center, so plan food and breaks inside. Concessions are run by Cultivated, the center’s food service. Cafe 34 is on level 3 in the Crystal Palace, and there are two Starbucks locations. Water bottles are allowed.

Backpacks and strollers are allowed. Coat check is run by the Javits Center and depends on availability, so call (212) 216-2000 before you travel if you need it.

Pets are not allowed. ADA service animals are, but emotional support animals are not. A first aid station on level 1 doubles as a lactation room. Mobility vehicles can be reserved through the Javits Center’s accessibility page.

Photos and video are welcome.
