The 118th edition of the 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 starts

The 118th edition of the 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 starts 2/7/2026 and goes through Feb. 16th. There will be more than 1000 vehicles from around the world and over 200,000 attendees.

@thechicagoautoshow features interactive exhibits, demonstrations, experimental and concept cars, antique and collector vehicles, and more!

TONIGHT was the 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚. It’s one of the greatest one-day fundraiser and regularly generates more than $2 million for 18 area non-profits. I can’t believe it was my 10th year attending this black-tie event. It’s so fun to preview the auto show the evening before the public opening. Attendees are treated to champagne, wine, soft drinks, elegant hor d’oeurves, and desserts. Gala attendees also had a chance to win a @Chevrolet Equinox or a @Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid.

Starting my Black History Month off right! ✊🏾 I was invited on Chicago’s Black Legacy tour with Urban Historian @6figga_dilla and @hennessy . We started the tour @Bronzevillewinery and then embarked on a 2 hour guided neighborhood tour of Bronzeville with Sherman “Dilla” Thomas. We had Hennessy toast moments at historical spots. 🥃

Thank you to Hennessy for the goodie bag! I love my new 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒈𝒐 beanie. 🥰 It’s so TRUE ❤️
