Montreal International Auto Show facts for kids
The Montreal International Auto Show (French: Le Salon International de l'Auto de Montréal) is a big car show that happens every year for 10 days in January. It takes place in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, usually at the Palais des congrès de Montréal.
The Montreal International Auto Show (MIAS) is put on by the Montreal Automobile Dealers Corporation. It started way back in 1969. The main idea was to help car dealerships sell more cars during a time of year when business was usually slow. Even after all these years, this event is still a super popular yearly tradition for people in Montreal. It's one of the most important car shows in Canada, with over 200,000 visitors on average. You can see more than 650 different vehicles spread out over a huge area of 375,000 square feet (34,800 m2).
For example, the 2014 show was held at the Palais de Congrés from January 17 to January 26.
