2026 Calgary International Auto and Truck Show

The Calgary International Auto and Truck Show returns to the BMO Centre at Stampede Park, showcasing manufacturers, dealers and specialty vehicles across four days. The public show runs March 12–15, 2026, with a preview gala (Vehicles & Violins) the evening before.

Expect manufacturer displays, dealer showrooms, and charity programming organized by the Calgary Motor Dealers Association; the venue is wheelchair accessible with on-site parking available.

See dozens of new models, local dealer inventories and special displays under one roof at the BMO Centre.

What makes it worth the trip:

• Broad dealer representation that makes comparing trims and local availability quick and direct.

• Live displays and themed exhibits that spotlight trucks, EVs and family vehicles relevant to Alberta drivers.

• Charity-focused gala and community fundraising woven into the show experience.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive on a weekday or early morning on weekend days to avoid peak crowds; use online ticketing or the quick-pay kiosks at the main entrance. Focus on manufacturers or dealers you want to test-drive or follow up with—bring contact details and note dealer booth names for follow-up.

Good to know:

• Daily public hours: Thu–Sat 10:00 AM–9:00 PM; Sun 10:00 AM–6:00 PM.

• Tickets sold online and at the door; the venue lists an on-site parking fee and is wheelchair accessible.

• Great if you want to compare multiple new models and local dealer options in one visit.
• Great if you enjoy hands-on time with trucks, SUVs and EVs suited to Alberta conditions.
• Great if you like events that support local charities and include a preview gala option.
• Maybe skip if you prefer solo test drives at dealerships rather than crowded indoor shows.
