Following a nearly three-year-long absence, the Detroit Auto Show will officially return in September 2022. More specifically, the organizers announced that the show will take place at Huntington Place (formerly TCF Center) in Detroit, between September 14 and 25, 2022.
Following the press dates on September 14-15 and the annual Charity Preview on September 16 raising money for non-profit organizations, the show will open to the public between September 17-25. Besides the main event in Downtown Detroit, there will be additional free city-wide outdoor activities.
Rod Alberts, executive director of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA), said: “We are proud to return to downtown Detroit and to work with Mayor Duggan and the city of Detroit again. Capitalizing on everything we’ve learned over the past two and a half years, we are uniquely positioned to bring a dynamic, engaging, experiential show to Detroit in 2022.”

The Detroit Auto Show was canceled in 2020 and in 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic, which means that the last time it happened was back in January 2019. Last month, the Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) received a one-time grant of $9 million from the US government, helping them re-establish the show.
DADA said that they will announce more information and details about the show in the coming weeks. Besides the Detroit Auto Show, 2022 will mark the return of the Paris Motor Show between October 17-23, after four years of absence.
