The New York International Auto Show is a huge yearly event. It takes place in Manhattan, New York City, usually in late March or early April. You can find it at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. The show often starts just before Easter weekend and ends the first Sunday after Easter.

This amazing show has been happening every year since 1900. It was actually the very first car exhibition in North America! From 1956 to 1987, the show was held at the New York Coliseum. Then, it moved to its current home at the Javits Center.

Before the show opens to the public, car companies show off their newest cars. They also reveal exciting concept vehicles to the press. Groups like the Greater New York Auto Dealers Association (GNYADA) host special meetings. The World Car Awards even announce their yearly winners here. This ten-day event brings hundreds of millions of dollars to New York City and State.
