An upcoming statewide auto show will not be held in January as planned in Harrisburg, due to COVID-19.

In an email, the Harrisburg Automotive Trade Association’s Board of Directors explained that they had made “the difficult decision not to produce a 2022 PA Auto Show.

“The 2022 Auto Show was scheduled to be held January 27-30, 2022 at the PA Farm Show Complex,” the email read. “A typical show hosts more than 30 manufacturers with the latest vehicles and technology, but automotive manufacturer production has slowed significantly due to the COVID pandemic and the resulting global microchip shortage. With continued low inventory levels and current conditions, we unfortunately cannot produce an event of the caliber that show-goers have come to expect and deserve.”

The email went on to state that plans have already begin for the 2023 show, “with the goal of making a great show experience and a wide array of vehicles available.”
