October 25, 2018November is the Best Time to Attend an Auto Show
There was a time when new makes and models of cars came out all at once, but today, the roll out occurs all year long. The first weekend in November offers a chance to see a variety of what’s new, shiny, fast, strong and exciting to drive, at a time when the weather is unpredictable, the sky is likely gray, the leaves are gone and thoughts are turning to winter fun or survival, depending on your point of view.
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 2nd from 1 to 8 p.m., Saturday, November 3rd from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, November 4th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Times Union Center in Albany, New York.
The Auto Show will display more new cars, trucks, minivans, sport-utilities, luxury, utility and alternative fuel vehicles than anywhere else in the region! While you’re looking for your next new ride, you can check out the classics from the Saratoga Auto Museum, which will be displayed in the Atrium area. Specialty and concept cars will be announced as they are scheduled. The perennial favorite funny man, Mr. Twisty, will be at the show both Saturday and Sunday as well as a special caricaturist, Mark Brennan, who will draw you in your new favorite ride Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

And for more fun and activity in downtown Albany at the same time, the Northeast Ski and Craft Beer Showcase will be held just a four-minute walk away, through an enclosed walkway, at the Capital Center. The Albany Auto Show will be providing parking at no charge for both shows, and both shows will provide attendees with $2 discount coupons for use at the other show. This combination of the two shows at one location will provide hours of entertainment, with free parking in one spot.
Tickets will be available at the door (Times Union box office) for $10 per adult ($8 with a Ski Showcase coupon). Children under 12 are free with an adult ticket purchase, and parking is free in the garage behind the Times Union Center.
