Demo Days Festival is North America's largest outdoor demo festival and an all-day event in major US cities where you can drive cars, ride motorcycles, try e-bikes, experience robotics, autonomous driving, and emerging mobility technology, and take your kids to one of the most entertaining zones they've ever been in. Every demo is included with admission. No appointments. No upcharges. No surprises.

Not even close. Demo Days is open to every type of vehicle and every powertrain: gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, e-bikes, UTVs, and more. Electrify Expo is a dedicated premium zone inside Demo Days for hybrid and EV shoppers who want that focused experience, but the broader festival covers everything.

Yes. That is the entire point. Demo Days features outdoor drive courses for cars and trucks, real open streets for motorcycles, dedicated loops for e-bikes and e-scooters, and dirt tracks for trucks, UTVs, and off-road vehicles. A valid driver's license is required for Auto Alley car and truck demos.

No. Pets are not permitted at the event. Only properly trained and credentialed service animals are allowed in accordance with ADA guidelines.

Personal rideables are not allowed inside the event grounds. Complimentary valet parking for e-bikes, scooters, and similar is available at the entrance.

Electrify Expo is North America's largest electric vehicle festival, built by the same team behind Demo Days. It now operates as a dedicated premium zone inside Demo Days, focused specifically on the electric experience with curated demo courses and expert programming. If you're actively shopping an EV or hybrid, Electrify Expo inside Demo Days is where you want to spend time.

A valid driver's license is required for Auto Alley car and truck demos. A motorcycle license is required for motorcycle street rides. No license is needed for the E-Motorcycle Trials Course, e-bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards, UTVs on the Adventure Track, or anything in the Kids Zone.

Demo Days features the world's top automotive, motorcycle, e-bike, and mobility brands, with the confirmed lineup varying by city. Each city's event page is updated regularly as brands are added.

The festival runs from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day, Saturday and Sunday. All attendees enter starting at 10:00 AM. Arriving early is a good idea to get first access to demo experiences.

General Admission starts at $24.99 including applicable fees. Kids 5 and under are free with a ticketed adult.

The Power Pack is $59.99 and includes a dedicated Power Pack entry lane, Dash Pass priority lane access at participating automotive brands (one use per brand), and VIP Lounge access with a complimentary snack pack, shaded seating, and private restrooms.

The average Demo Days attendee stays over 3 hours. Most people stay the full day. The festival covers over 1.5 million square feet with more demos than you can realistically fit into a single day. Our advice: arrive at gate open, hit the most popular demos with the shortest morning lines first, and pace yourself.

The Kids Zone is consistently one of the most popular areas at every Demo Days event. It features electric go-karts, balance bikes, crazy carts, and hoverboards, all supervised and safe. New for 2026: Kids' Cybertruck Drag Racing. Children 5 and under get in free with a ticketed adult. A Family 4-Pack ticket option is available.

Upgrades are available onsite at the ticketing booth on the day of the event, based on availability. Power Pack passes can sell out before or during the event, so we recommend arriving early if you're interested.

The Power Pack includes a dedicated Power Pack entry lane, Dash Pass priority lane access at participating automotive brands (one use per brand, automotive only), and VIP Lounge access with a complimentary snack pack, shaded seating, and private restrooms.

EV Reality Check is a live expert stage powered by GreenCars that runs all day, both days, at every Demo Days event. Sessions cover charging infrastructure, winter driving range, towing capability, total cost of ownership versus gas, and federal and state tax credit eligibility, with real experts answering real questions. No sales script, no pressure. Complete the GreenCars Matchmaker on-site and get priority lane access to demos from participating brands.

Your driver’s license (required for car and motorcycle demos). Motorcycle demos require a helmet and motorcycle license. Comfortable shoes (the festival is large and you will walk). Non-Aerosol Sunscreen. A light bag that clears security quickly. If you plan to buy food on-site, bring a card or digital wallet. No cash accepted. If you are planning to try e-bikes, scooters, or other micro-mobility demos, feel free to bring your own helmet for comfort, though safety gear is available on-site.

Entirely. Demo Days does not do convention centers. The outdoor format is what makes real demo courses possible: real streets for motorcycles, real dirt for off-road courses, real scale for flying car displays.

Demo Days does not cancel for weather. Some individual demo experiences may pause briefly in extreme conditions, but the festival runs. Dress for the forecast and come ready for a full day.

At a traditional auto show, you walk convention center floors and sit in stationary vehicles behind barriers. At Demo Days, you drive them on outdoor courses. Beyond vehicles, Demo Days includes motorcycles, e-bikes, off-road tracks, UTVs, robotics, flying cars, autonomous driving experiences, live music, food trucks, and a full Kids Zone. Traditional auto show attendance has been declining for years. Demo Days is growing because it gives people something auto shows fundamentally cannot: the experience of actually using the product.

Demo Days Festival tours major US cities in 2026: Los Angeles, California on June 27-28; San Francisco, California on August 22-23; and Dallas, Texas on November 7-8. Every event runs Saturday and Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM. General Admission from $24.99.

The Terrain Park is an outdoor off-road demo course new for 2026, designed specifically for trucks, SUVs, and crossovers to demonstrate real off-road capability. Attendees ride along on a 3-4 minute course through hill climbs, articulation mounds, side tilts, and rugged switchbacks. Included with every ticket.

The Adventure Track is a new-for-2026 dirt course built for UTVs and side-by-sides, featuring hairpin turns, steep climbs, and uneven terrain that gives you a real feel for what these vehicles were built to handle. Family-friendly. No off-road experience required. Included with every ticket.

The Adventure Track also includes electric dirt bike experiences for experienced riders only. Riders participating in dirt bike demos must bring their own helmet and protective safety gear to participate.

Most Adventure Track experiences are beginner-friendly and designed for first-time riders and families. However, electric dirt bike demos are reserved for experienced riders only and require riders to bring their own helmet and protective gear.

Safety requirements vary by vehicle type. For UTV and side-by-side demos, required safety equipment is typically provided onsite. For electric dirt bike demos, riders must bring their own helmet and protective safety gear.

Many Adventure Track experiences are family-friendly, though age and height requirements may vary depending on the manufacturer and vehicle type. Electric dirt bike demos are intended for experienced riders only.

The Hands-Free Zone is a closed-loop autonomous driving experience where the vehicle navigates independently through lane markings, intersections, and staged scenarios, without a human touching the wheel. Attendees sit in the driver's seat and experience the technology firsthand. New for 2026. Included with every ticket.

Showoff is the custom vehicle and car culture zone at Demo Days Festival, running at all 6 tour stops in 2026. It brings together the best custom builds in the country alongside Demo Days attendees, with 16 awards across 12 trophy categories. New for 2026, Showoff has expanded beyond electric vehicles and conversions to every make, model, era, and build style. Hot rods, lowriders, exotics, JDM, lifted trucks, off-road builds, motorcycles — if you've put work into it, it belongs here.

Registration starts at $35.00 and includes two General Admission passes to Demo Days. You get dedicated display space alongside the best custom builds in the country, access to compete across 16 awards in 12 categories, a $50 goodie bag with car care products, and full festival access for the weekend. Car and bike registrations are both available. Register at demodaysfestival.com/products/showoff.

Showoff is open to every style, era, and build type. Current categories include: EV and Hybrid builds, Conversions (EV and gas, including LS swaps and engine swaps), Old School, Hot Rod and Street Rod, Lowrider, Euro, Asian and JDM and Kei Cars, Domestics, Exotics and Hypercars, Mini Trucks and Lifted Trucks, Off-Road and Overlanding and King of the Hammers builds, Performance Vehicles, Drag Cars and Drift Cars, and Motorcycle, Bikes, Scooters, and 2-wheel and 4-wheel builds. If you've been working on it, there's a category for it.

Showoff hands out 16 trophies across 12 categories at every Demo Days event. Trophy categories include Best of Show, Best Kicks, Best Coupe, Best Sedan, Best Truck and SUV, Best Wheel and Tire Package, Best Paint and Wrap, Best Interior, Best Stance, Best Conversion, Best Domestic, Best Euro, Best Asian, Best EV and Hybrid, Best 2 Wheel (bikes, motorcycles, and more), and Best Crew. Every trophy is judged in front of the largest custom vehicle crowd in the country.

Access to the Showoff display zone is included with every Demo Days General Admission ticket. You don't need to register a build to walk through and see the cars. If you want to display your own build and compete for awards, registration is $54.88 and includes two GA passes to the full festival.

Showoff runs at every Demo Days city in 2026: Los Angeles on June 27-28 at the Rose Bowl Stadium, San Francisco on August 22-23 at Alameda Point, and Dallas on November 7-8 at Texas Motor Speedway. Every event is two days, 10 AM to 5 PM. Build registration includes two GA tickets. General admission from $24.99.

Yes. Showoff has a dedicated Best 2 Wheel trophy category for motorcycles, bikes, scooters, and other 2-wheel and 4-wheel builds. A separate Bike Registration option is available at demodaysfestival.com/products/showoff. Registration starts at $35.00 and includes two General Admission passes to Demo Days.

A regular car show is a standalone event. Showoff runs inside Demo Days Festival, which means your build is in front of attendees who are also test driving cars, riding motorcycles, trying e-bikes, watching FMX riders, and spending a full day on the grounds. It's a broader, more engaged crowd than a traditional car show attracts. Sixteen awards across 12 categories with judging happening live at the event. Registration includes two GA passes, a $50 goodie bag, and full festival access all weekend.

That's exactly who Showoff is built for. Mods, wraps, slammed builds, lifted builds, wide body, EV conversions, custom interiors, full restorations — all welcome. The aftermarket community is a core part of what Showoff is. If you've been building it, don't leave it in the garage.

Yes. Demo Days is an outdoor consumer festival, not an auto show. Solar, energy, tech, robotics, food, and lifestyle brands all activate at Demo Days alongside vehicle manufacturers.

All sales are final. Tickets, vehicle registrations, upgrades, and add-ons are non-refundable.

Please review your selected city, date, and ticket type carefully before completing your purchase.

Tickets may be transferable to another guest unless otherwise stated, but unauthorized ticket resale is prohibited.

In the rare event of an official event postponement or schedule change initiated by the organizer, ticket holders will receive direct communication with updated information and any applicable options.
