Indianapolis Auto Show

Held the week after Christmas, the Indianapolis Auto Show gives car lovers a head start on next year's Christmas wish list. The event runs from Dec. 26 through Jan. 1 at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis. Presented by the Greater Metropolitan Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association, the show features about 450 vehicles from more than 40 manufacturers. Displayed in interesting exhibits, vehicles include 2015 model automobiles, SUVs, light duty trucks and luxury vans. Concept cars, the latest technology, celebrities and daily giveaways - culminating in a drawing for a new vehicle - add to reasons to attend. Consumers also are able to speak with automotive product specialists while they browse the more than 375,000 square feet of exhibit space. The show celebrated its 100th birthday in 2013. If nothing else, it's a good place to dream, stretch your legs and walk off some of the holiday goodies.
