OC Auto Show / SoCal Drive Experience — The longtime OC Auto Show is transitioning to the new SoCal Drive Experience, with the next event planned for spring 2027 at a new venue. Organizers say the change reflects growing interest in hands-on driving experiences and will expand beyond the traditional indoor auto-show format with on-road driving, an Off-Road Experience, Cars & Coffee and Southern California automotive culture. There is no 2026 OC Auto Show; 2027 dates and location are still to be announced.
