2025 Update

The Columbus Auto Show & Charity Gala has been a highlight of the business year for Ohio automobile dealers for many years. It is with great regret that the Columbus Automobile Dealers Association made the difficult decision not to proceed with a 2025 show.

We remain fully committed to maintaining the charitable portion of this event, and this year provides us with the opportunity and flexibility to increase focus on this important effort, which in years past has raised more than $2,000,000 to benefit countless local charities.

Across the country and internationally, headwinds in the auto industry are having an impact on these types of events. We're working to address these challenges, and are committed to see the return of the show in future years. In the meantime, we’re exploring new and creative opportunities for events that provide consumers and auto enthusiasts the opportunity to learn and engage with auto manufacturers and dealers.
