November 2, 2022Have Fun and Fill Up Your Tank Too at the Albany Auto Show
The first weekend in November offers you a chance to see a variety of what’s new, shiny, fast, strong and exciting to drive, with all the latest technologies inside, including the electrics and hybrids. And, while you’re looking at all the cool, new car stuff, you’ll have a chance to be one of the hourly winners of $100 in free gas!
Sure, you can stay home and stare at your computer screen, but the Albany Auto Show is where you can see it all – in one place – and bring it to life! Feel it, sit in it and make it real. The show will be held Friday, November 4th from 3 pm to 7 pm, Saturday, November 5th from 10 am to 7 pm, and Sunday, November 6th from 10 am to 5 pm, at the newly renamed MVP Arena (formerly the Times Union Center) in Albany, New York.
The Auto Show will display more new cars, trucks, minivans, sport-utilities, luxury, alternative fuel and electric vehicles than anywhere else in the region! And, while you’re looking for your next new vehicle, you can enjoy other entertainment as well. Back by popular demand, there will be another exciting Gas Card Giveaway for all attendees, where every hour someone will win a $100 gas card! You can also check out the classics from the Saratoga Automobile Museum, which will be displayed along with cool Distracted Driving Simulators, in the Atrium area. And, talk about adding more to the fun – the first 50 paid attendees for EVERY day of show open, will receive a FREE Albany FireWolves ticket, for the season home opener, a date to be determined in December. The Albany FireWolves will also have an interactive booth at the show, where you can meet the dance team and test your lacrosse skills at the exciting shot speed challenge! Specialty and concept cars will be announced as they are scheduled and children’s show favorite, Mr. Twisty, will be onsite both Saturday and Sunday from 12-4 pm.
Adirondack Sports & Northeast Ski Expo (formerly the Northeast Ski & Craft Beer Showcase) will take place Saturday and Sunday, the same weekend, at the adjacent Albany Capital Center, which is connected to the MVP Arena. For more information on that, visit: AdkSports.com.
