Demo Days Festival is North America's largest outdoor demo festival and an all-day event touring 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. A live DJ runs all day across both days. Food trucks are on the festival floor throughout the event. Freestyle Motocross pros launch off full-size ramps overhead all day between zones, no scheduled showtime to track. Most people stay longer than planned. There is no cash accepted on-site; bring a card or digital wallet.

Yes. That is the entire point.

A valid driver's license is required for Auto Alley car and truck demos.

Showoff is a custom vehicle gathering inside Demo Days. Every make and model is welcome: gas, hybrid, EV conversions, classic hot rods, slammed trucks, lifted 4x4s, and resto-mods. Vehicles are judged across 12 categories with 16 awards given out each city. Entry costs $50.00, which includes two general admission passes and a goodie bag. Showoff runs at every Demo Days city in 2026. Walk the show free with your GA ticket, or register your build at demodaysfestival.com/showoff.

Yes. Auto Alley at Demo Days covers every powertrain: gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric. The event is not an EV-only festival. Electrify Expo is a dedicated zone inside the broader festival for shoppers focused specifically on electric options, but the Auto Alley demo courses, the Terrain Park, the Adventure Track, and the Motorcycle Demo District all include gas and hybrid vehicles alongside EVs. No appointment needed for any demo.

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.

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.

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.

Personal e-bikes, scooters, and similar rideables aren't allowed inside the event grounds. Complimentary valet parking is available at the entrance, so you can still ride in and leave it in good hands for the day.

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 is coming to these 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 Future Tech Zone is the zone for everything that resists easy categorization. Humanoid robots you can interact with in person. eVTOLs and flying cars close enough to touch. The people running these exhibits know their machines well and are there to answer questions, not give a sales presentation. Included with every ticket.

The Terrain Park is a new-for-2026 off-road course 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.

Yes. Adventure Track demos are included with your Demo Days Festival ticket, subject to availability and participation requirements.

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.
