Chicago Auto Show organizers have decided to postponed the 2021 auto show as a result of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, according to NBC Chicago News.
The auto show was originally scheduled for Feb. 5, 2021. Organizers say that they are hopeful that they’ll be able to work with local health departments and other officials to be able to hold the show later in the spring of 2021.
“We are working with our partners at McCormick Place, as well as state and city officials, to develop a plan that allows us to open the 2021 Chicago Auto Show in a safe and responsible manner,” Mark Bilek, senior director of communications and technology for the auto show, said in a statement. “While our traditional February dates are unlikely, we are hopeful to be able to stage the show sometime in the spring.”
The annual Chicago Auto Show has been held since 1901 and is the largest auto show in North America, according to the event’s web site.
