About SEMA Show 2026
The automotive aftermarket's biggest trade show. Trade-only, with the public welcome at SEMA Fest on Friday 6 November.
The SEMA Show is the automotive aftermarket's biggest trade event. For four days in November, the Las Vegas Convention Center fills with more than 2,000 exhibiting brands showing new parts, accessories, tools and wheels, plus hundreds of custom builds from the world's top shops.
The show is held by the Specialty Equipment Market Association and is primarily for the trade: buyers, shop owners, media and manufacturers. Tuesday to Thursday are trade-only days. On Friday 6 November the doors open to the public, and the same ticket can include SEMA Fest, the outdoor music festival and car culture party held alongside the show.
