About This Event
Auto e Moto d'Epoca is the classic car and motorcycle show its organiser bills as the largest in Europe, with over 5,000 cars and motorbikes on display and for sale across 13 halls and 235,000 square metres at BolognaFiere. Dealers, restorers, marque clubs, factory heritage stands and sellers of spares, scale models and automobilia share the halls.
1What to Expect
The 2027 show runs Thursday 21 to Sunday 24 October 2027 at BolognaFiere. The 2027 themes, anniversaries and guest stands are not announced yet.
The halls are laid out as four routes: car dealers and restorers, motorcycles, spare parts with models and automobilia, and Where Culture Meets Passion for manufacturers, clubs, museums and themed exhibitions.
Over 5,000 cars and motorbikes were on display and for sale in 2025, so it works as a market as much as a show.
Show all 5
The spares route is where restorers hunt for parts and period accessories, with model cars and automobilia in the same halls.
There are outdoor exhibition areas as well as the 13 halls.
2Best Way to Experience It
- The hall map goes online before the show and a printed guide is handed out at the fair, so each day can be split route by route.
- In 2026 Thursday was the highest priced day and the only one without reduced tickets, and Saturday or Sunday was the cheapest single day. 2027 prices are not announced yet.
