The short version
The Silicon Valley Auto Show returns February 19–21, 2027 to the Santa Clara Convention Center at 5001 Great America Parkway (next to Levi’s Stadium): three indoor days for South Bay and Peninsula households who want a new-vehicle walk-through without driving to Los Angeles. Official hours list Friday and Saturday 10:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., with free parking called out on svautoshow.com. Brand lineups rotate; recent editions mixed mainstream and luxury nameplates with timed ride-and-drive loops. Buy tickets on the official site rather than third-party resale. Treat this as the Bay’s winter shopping floor, not a concours lawn and not Wekfest.
Background
After a January 2026 edition, organizers published a mid-February 2027 weekend at the same Santa Clara campus. The show remains the Silicon Valley Automobile Dealers Association’s consumer product: new metal under one roof for Fremont–Cupertino–San Jose corridors dense with dealerships and EV ownership.

Planning tips
- Buy on svautoshow.com. Resale sites often list day-of inventory with fees that erase any “deal.”
- One day covers most shopping households. Pick Friday for thinner crowds or Sunday if family pricing returns in 2027 materials.
- Free parking helps, but Levi’s Stadium and Great America can still clog Great America Parkway. Leave early from the Peninsula or East Bay.
- If you are stacking NorCal culture weekends, this is the dealer floor. Wekfest San Jose and Monterey Car Week are separate tickets.
- Use the floor to shortlist trims, then run payment scenarios at home before you sit in a finance office.
- Reconfirm hours, ticket SKUs, and ride-and-drive brands the week of the show. February lineups move.
Common questions
- When is Silicon Valley Auto Show 2027?
- February 19–21, 2027 at Santa Clara Convention Center. Friday and Saturday run 10:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.; Sunday runs 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. Confirm tickets on svautoshow.com.
- Why is it in February instead of January?
- Organizers published a mid-February 2027 weekend after a January 9–11, 2026 edition. Do not assume the calendar month is locked forever. Recheck svautoshow.com.
- How does this compare to the LA Auto Show?
- Same product type (consumer new-vehicle floor), different geography and scale. Silicon Valley is the local Santa Clara weekend for Bay Area driveways; LA Auto Show is the Southern California convention-center marathon. Pick by drive time, not prestige.
- Is this good for kids?
- Yes for a paced afternoon: indoor climate control and sit-in displays. Confirm whether a Family Day or kids-free Sunday returns in 2027 ticket materials before you budget.
