Georgian College Fuels Anticipation for the 2026 Auto Show

The Georgian College Auto Show, Canada’s largest student-run outdoor car show, returns for its 38th year June 5 to 7.

This event is organized entirely by students at the Automotive Business School of Canada (ABSC) at Georgian College. Year after year, this event at Georgian’s Barrie Campus continues to spotlight the next generation of automotive industry leaders and the latest technological innovations.

“The auto show is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students because it brings everything we’ve learned about the industry into a real-world, hands-on environment,” said Amanda Caldeira, ABSC student and Director, Marketing and Media Relations for the auto show. “At the Automotive Business School of Canada, we’re taught to look at the industry through a strategic lens, and the Georgian College Auto Show is where that vision comes to life. The show goes beyond just the vehicles — it’s about the people, the innovation and the future leaders driving the industry forward.”

This year’s theme, Beyond the Wheel, invites guests to engage with the future of mobility through immersive, hands-on experiences:

• Explore and interact with the latest vehicles from 20+ major manufacturers.
• Test out the latest new models from your favourite manufactures.
• Experience the thrill by taking a ride on the Porsche Drift Track.

Designed for all ages, the auto show promises something for everyone, from a KidZone with mini dirt bikes, inflatable obstacle course and even a dog show, to food trucks and local business vendors.

Don’t just attend, go Beyond the Wheel at the Georgian College Auto Show.
