2026 Oregon International Auto Show

The Oregon International Auto Show returns to the Oregon Convention Center, with manufacturer displays, a Ride & Drive area, family activities, and a Sneak Peek charity evening on Feb. 19. The show fills more than 350,000 square feet and highlights new models, electrified vehicles, and giveaways.

Expect on-site experiences like Drive Electric exhibits, a New Car Giveaway entry booth, manufacturer demonstrations, and contests run by the Oregon Auto Dealers Association.

See the latest cars, EVs, and mobility tech in one central Portland venue.

What makes it worth the trip:

• Large footprint with dozens of manufacturer displays and brand-specific exhibits.
• Expanded Ride & Drive / Drive Electric opportunities to test EVs and hybrids on-site.
• Family-friendly programming plus a Sneak Peek charity event and a New Car Giveaway entry booth.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive early on weekend days to avoid peak crowds, pick up a show map at the entrance, and prioritize Ride & Drive sign-ups since those slots can fill. Use public transit—the Oregon Convention Center is served by MAX light rail—to avoid limited event parking.

Good to know:

• Sneak Peek (Thursday evening) is a separate charity-ticketed event with early access to exhibits.
• Official show info, schedules, and exhibitor lists are posted on the event website.

• Great if you want hands-on time with EVs and new-model test drives.
• Great if you enjoy comparing multiple manufacturers under one roof.
• Great if you like family-friendly exhibits and charity events tied to a show.
• Maybe skip if you prefer small, specialist car meets instead of large consumer shows.
