Demo Days Festival is North America's largest outdoor demo festival and an all-day event in 8 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 purpose-built 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.

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.

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.

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). Comfortable shoes (the festival is large and you will walk). 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.

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 purpose-built 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.

The Terrain Park is a purpose-built 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, sharp climbs, and rugged terrain that gives you a genuine feel for what these vehicles were engineered for. Family-friendly. No off-road experience required. Included with every ticket.

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.

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.
