Auto Shows
We sponsor and produce three auto shows that showcase new vehicles during months that appeal to permanent residents, part-time residents and visitors. Our South Florida International Auto Show dates to 1971. This fall event is among the five top shows in America. Just before the Holidays, the Auto Show of the Palm Beaches presented by Northwood University reaches a growing and eager audience. In early spring, the Fort Lauderdale International Auto Show generates excitement and proceeds that benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County.
