When is the Vancouver Auto Show in 2025?

As mentioned above, this year’s auto show takes place during spring break. The Vancouver Auto Show runs March 19 – March 23. And each day has specific hours available to the public. See below.

Days & Times of the Vancouver Auto Show 2025

• March 19 – 12:00 PM-9:00 PM
• March 20 – 10:00 AM-9:00 PM
• March 21 – 10:00 AM-9:00 PM
• March 22 – 10:00 AM-9:00 PM
• March 23 – 10:00 AM-6:00 PM

As you can see, the first and last day run shorter hours to accommodate set-up, establish the flow of public entry, and work out any kinks along the way. It’s also to allow enough time to take down the set-up on the last day of the event.

Where is the Vancouver Auto Show Being Held This Year?

Years ago, the Vancouver Auto Show was almost always held at GM Place or BC Place Stadium. However, thanks to many new venues that facilitate easier access and more accommodating parking, Elevate has been held at the Vancouver Convention Centre the past couple of years. And 2025 is no different.
