Auto Show will not be held in 2021 as had been previously planned. Beyond the immediate health considerations, the show's organizers are also taking this unprecedented step to better ensure that the 2022 Washington, D.C. Auto Show, which will be held January 21-30, 2022, can happen on-time and with the same exciting programming that attendees have long been accustomed to. "Out of respect to the region's auto enthusiasts and those in the market for a new vehicle, along with the automakers who are the backbone of our event, we tried everything possible to produce a show in 2021," said Washington, D.C. Auto Show president and CEO John O'Donnell. "Unfortunately, there is simply too much ongoing uncertainty about when the District will be able to safely host large indoor events again. We truly wish that cancellation wasn't necessary, but we know that this decision is in the best interests of all those who make The Washington, D.C. Auto Show the great event that it is."
