FINAL DAYS TO SEE THE 2024 CHICAGO AUTO SHOW, FAMILY DAY, FEB. 19

The Chicago Auto Show is proud to present Family Day, on its final day Monday, Feb. 19, in partnership with the Daily Herald and Meet Chicago Northwest. A variety of activities are planned throughout the day, from musical performances to kid-friendly events – all included in the price of a general admission ticket.

Activities at Family Day this year are sponsored by Radio Flyer, Game Show Gurus, Bottle and Bottega, the Schaumburg Boomers baseball team, Trickster Cultural Center, the Schaumburg Park District, Opera in Focus, Forest Preserves of Cook County, School of Rock, My Party Princess and more.

“There are so many exciting venues and attractions in the Chicago Northwest region, and we’re thrilled to have the Chicago Auto Show platform to promote them,” says MCNW president Heather Larson, CMP. “Families will find a great variety of family fun activities to take part in on Monday, Feb. 19 at McCormick Place.”

“Positioning Family Day on Presidents Day was done intentionally to allow kids and families who don’t have school that day to come down to the auto show and have a fun day out of the house,” said JC Phelan, Chicago Auto Show chairman. “In addition to the Family Day programming, the entire show floor is filled with fun; from adoptable puppies in Subaru, to driving simulators, to exploring the Honda Jet...there’s something for everyone at the show.”

Attendees can experience one of the show’s three indoor test tracks, including Chicago Drives Electric, Ford Bronco Built Wild, and Hyundai’s EV test track. Jump behind the wheel in the latest models from Ford, Kia, and Subaru in three outdoor ride-and-drive opportunities.

The 2024 Chicago Auto Show is open Monday, February 19, for its final day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
