Thursday carries two gates
The Oregon International Auto Show runs February 18 to 21, 2027 at the Oregon Convention Center. The venue card lists Halls A-A1-B-C-D-E and the line Public Event - Tickets Purchase Required. Thursday February 18 opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 4 p.m.
The Sneak Peek Charity Event takes the same halls that evening, 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., on a separate ticket. Two and a half hours sit between the two doors.
That gap is the Thursday case for a day room. A visitor who holds both tickets needs a place to wait that is not the concourse.
Entry stops an hour early
The organiser prints one rule under the hours grid: Entry closes one hour prior to show close.
Thursday entry stops at 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday entry stop at 9 p.m. Sunday entry stops at 6 p.m.
The grid runs Thursday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday noon to 10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday carries twelve hours.
The 2027 Sneak Peek details are unpublished
The organiser page reads Stay tuned for details on Sneak Peek 2027 and describes the 2026 evening. The 2026 event named Victory Academy, Boys & Girls Club of Portland and Meals on Wheels People as beneficiaries. No 2027 ticket price appears on that page.
The ticket portal still serves the 2026 cycle. It prints February 19 to 22, 2026 and closed online sales. That ladder read adult $20, senior 65 and over $15, military $15, youth 10 to 15 $10, children 9 and under free, and free youth admission on Sunday. Hold those figures as last season.
Day-use windows against the Thursday gates
hotelSlots sells four slots: Morning 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., Afternoon 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., Evening 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. and Overnight 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. The platform advertises up to 75 percent off the nightly rate across 103,857 hotels in 46 states and a $0 fee. Its seller-of-travel page names Florida, Hawaii, Iowa and Washington as states it cannot serve. Oregon is not on that list.
The Dayuse Portland city page listed 19 priced properties at 21:48 UTC on 19 October 2026. The figures below are the rendered card prices at that read. Distances are straight-line from the venue pin at 45.528324, -122.663105.

Thursday carries two exact matches. The Jupiter Original 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. window at $89 covers the public gate from open to close. The Royal Sonesta 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. window at $110 covers the public gate and the 6:30 to 9:30 charity block inside one booking.
The latest end time among those cards is 11 p.m. on the Jupiter Original, which carries both Friday and Saturday closes at 10 p.m. The Sunday entry cutoff at 6 p.m. falls inside the Embassy Suites 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. window.
Parking and the train
The OCC garage holds 800 spaces on two underground levels, P1 with 7 feet of clearance and P2 with 9. Standard entry is $15 for up to 18 hours with no in and out privileges. Event days carry a dynamic rate of $15 to $25 at the gate. The garage opens daily at 6 a.m. and takes no overnight vehicles. Both booths take cards.
MAX light rail stops 300 times a day at the front door. The Portland Streetcar A Loop arrives every 15 minutes. The OCC counts 566 metered spaces within three blocks.
The property the show names
The visitor page lists one hotel under Where to Stay: Hyatt Regency Portland at 375 NE Holladay Street, telephone 971.222.1234. Nominatim places that address 0.24 km straight-line from the venue pin.
The February 2027 venue calendar carries no other booking between February 18 and February 21.
A Thursday booking starts at $89 with the Jupiter Original and $110 with the Royal Sonesta. Both sit inside a mile of the door.
