Trade Fairs Brno will open a new hall “P” – the biggest exposition hall in the central Europe – to public on Friday, June 6.

Three small halls were demolished to clear place for a building with outer dimensions 220.3 × 89.5 m. The interior is as big as two soccer fields. Hall P has enough place for 10,000 spectators of a show or a concert; there are two bistros, one restaurant and the biggest gate is 11 m wide and 7 m tall.

Free motor show tickets for everyone

Friday is a press day of the motor show “Autosalon”, but after 6 p.m., the exposition ground will be opened to general public, without any entrance fee.

You will be able to see new models of 37 automotive brands, including these hot cars; there will be concerts and shows for families with kids.

“Autosalon Night” will end on 11 p.m. Half an hour before the event ends, visitors of the exhibition ground will be able to see the last fireworks (the “Grand Finale”) of the Ignis Brunensis festival.
