Owned and produced by the Auto Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia and held annually at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Philadelphia Auto Show is recognized by the industry as one of the top auto shows in the country. Filling more than 600,000 square feet of the PA Convention Center, the Auto Show features over 700 vehicles each year, including new vehicle debuts, concepts, exotics, tuners and antique automobiles. Each year, the Auto Show welcomes an average of 225,000-250,000 attendees over the course of the nine-day event. Exit surveys report that as much as 48% of the area’s new car sales are directly influenced by the Auto Show. In addition, the Show gives back to its communities. Since 2003, the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Show, has given more than $4.1 million to area children's charities and institutions including The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Auto Show also supports the Foundation's signature program called Driving Away the Cold, which has provided nearly 80,000 brand new winter coats to local children in need since 2008.
