NEW MOTORAMA DATES: APRIL 29, 30 & MAY 1, 2022!

NEW MOTORAMA DATES: APRIL 29, 30 & MAY 1, 2022!

 

As you may have heard, we've been able to move the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo back seven full weeks. This will give ample time for Omicron to subside and for the Province of Ontario to fully reopen from its most recent – and likely final – lockdown period. Motorama will take place April 29, 30 & May 1 at Toronto's International Centre.

 

It's been a very long two weeks years to flatten the curve, but it's looking like the pandemic will soon be largely behind us!

 

Looking ahead, we're extremely excited about this year's show! In the days since we confirmed the date change, the reaction has been amazing! Several exhibitors have reached out to reserve space, including those who had taken a 'wait and see' approach. And individual car owners and clubs have registered many incredible vehicles.

 

If you had booked booth space or your vehicle had been accepted – prior to the date change announcement – you don't need to do anything. You're good to go. We'll be in touch, shortly, with new information regarding move-in dates and times.

 

If you have not yet signed up as an exhibitor or car owner, you should do so ASAP. There is still some space available, but it's clear that the industry and community are eager to get back to Motorama, and the floorplan is filling up quickly. The show is going to be jam-packed with incredible custom cars, hot rods, tuners, classics, exotics, trucks and racing vehicles of all kinds!

 

We have lots of big news set to roll out, so don't miss your opportunity to be part of the only major indoor car / racing show taking place in Ontario in 2022! Call us at (416) 962-7223, email us at info@motoramashow.com and watch for news at www.MotoramaShow.com and on our social media feeds.

 

Thank you for your patience and support… and we'll see you April 29 – May 1 at Toronto's International Centre for the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo!
