Recap
Toronto AutoShow 2026: Union Station in, shortlist out
The February 13–22 run kept the MTCC’s two-building footprint and baked Family Day into the calendar. Households who rode GO to Union and treated the floor as a comparison lab — not a unveil chase — matched how this show actually works.
Ticket math mattered: Super Tuesday and after-5 specials rewarded flexible schedules, while weekend afternoons rewarded patience. For next year’s GTA plan, reconfirm building maps and digital ticket emails the night before you go.
The short version
The Canadian International AutoShow filled the Metro Toronto Convention Centre’s North and South Buildings from Friday, February 13 through Sunday, February 22, 2026. Opening day ran noon–10:00 p.m.; most midweek days ran 10:30 a.m.–9:00 or 10:00 p.m.; closing Sunday ended at 6:00 p.m. Monday, February 16 was Ontario Family Day. Organizers sold digital tickets only online, with adult GA at $28 and a GO Transit combo that bundles round-trip GO fare to Union Station.
Background
Presented with The Toronto Star and staged since 1974, the show is Canada’s largest automotive expo and one of the country’s largest consumer shows — hundreds of thousands of visitors across roughly 650,000 square feet when both MTCC buildings are live.

Planning tips
- Arrive via Union Station. The MTCC connects directly; GO combo tickets beat parking both buildings’ garages on Family Day weekend.
- Download the North vs South building maps before you walk. Crossing Front Street mid-visit burns the hour you meant for third-row comparisons.
- Super Tuesday (February 17) adult tickets were promoted at $15; after-5:00 p.m. adult specials were $20 most days (not valid Feb 17 or closing Sunday) — useful if you only need an evening pass.
- Family Day Monday is loud and packed. If the goal is quiet seat time, pick a midweek evening instead.
