New York Auto Show Cancelled Due To COVID-19 Delta Variant Concerns
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Plans for the New York Auto Show to go forward in person have come to a screeching halt.
Organizers cited “growing incidences of the COVID-19 Delta variant and the increased measures announced recently by state and local officials to stop its spread.”
The show had been scheduled to run from August 20th-29th.
Mayor Bill de Blasio recently announced the city will phase in requiring proof of vaccination when gathering for most situations indoors. The mayor said it will apply to both workers and customers in those indoor spaces. It will be phased in beginning Aug. 16, with full enforcement by Sept. 13.

“As custodians of the 121-year-old New York Auto Show, we are committed to providing a safe environment for everyone including attendees, exhibitors, and the thousands of men and women who put the show together. Over the past few weeks, and especially within the last few days, circumstances have changed making it more difficult to create an event at the high standard that we and our clients expect,” organizers wrote.
They said they anticipate the show returning as normal in April, 2022.
