With starters disconnected and finishes polished, a dizzying array of automotive technology awaits visitors to the 2025 Lehigh Valley Auto Show.
This year’s show, returning to Lehigh University’s Murray H. Goodman Campus in Bethlehem, opens Thursday and continues through Sunday.
Spanning three venues totaling 140,000 square feet, this year’s show features a theme of “Ignite Your Imagination.”
Ahead of opening day, the show organized by the Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Dealers Association put on a preview gala Wednesday night to benefit Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital Pediatric Unit.
According to the dealers association, proceeds from the auto show contribute around $150,000 annually to Lehigh Valley region nonprofits.
Automakers displaying at the show include Acura, Audi, Buick-GMC-Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge-Jeep, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Ineos, Kia, Lamborghini, Lincoln, Mazda, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Toyota and Volvo.
Highlights include a special guest appearance by NASCAR Xfinity Series driver and Nazareth native Sage Karam from 5-8 p.m. Friday in the Domestic Pavilion at Rauch Fieldhouse. This is part of the show’s NASCAR Weekend that includes a Pit Crew Challenge, where racing fans can test their speed and skills for bragging rights and gift certificates from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Sunday.
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms are slated to be on hand to mingle and take photos with show attendees, and various automotive clubs add to the excitement of the weekend. These are announced as:
- Thunderbird Club, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday.
- Corvette Club, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
- Shiftin2Gear Tuner Show, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

On Thursday, the auto dealers association is hosting Community Days, offering free admission to first responders, medical personnel, and veterans as a token of appreciation for their service.
Subaru of America is once again hosting a pet adoption event within the Lehigh Valley Auto Show, where guests can visit the exhibit and consider adopting a local pet or making a donation to help pets in our community. All donations go directly to help animals at local partner shelters, organizers say.
