The annual Pittsburgh International Auto Show revs ocular engines with a multi-day showcase of domestic and foreign rides. More than 30 exhibitors skid to a stop at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, with vehicles on display from revered domestic and international manufacturers. Attendees roam the expansive layout, comparing auto features, posing for pictures with well-groomed roadsters, and feeding oats to baby SUVs. Concept vehicles and smart cars usher guests into the future of transportation, and daily special events satisfy interests of all makes and models with free giveaways, face painting, and a children’s museum. Additionally, gearheads 12 years of age and younger get in for free by stating their date of birth or proving they can drive a stick shift.

The Pittsburgh International Auto Show offers discounted admission on Monday, February 20, and every day to seniors and members of the military.
