Why is the NY Auto show always during Easter weekend?

Question

I just can't understand why the NY Auto show is always on Easter weekend. Don't the organizers know that on Easter, there will be hardly anyone attending? I imagine that the admission sales for Easter itself must me almost nonexistent. Plus, the people who have to work that day must not be too thrilled about having to work on a holiday.

First
Not everyone celebrates Easter and is of Christian faith. New York is one of the most diverse places in the world. Some people celebrate but will also attend the show. No where in the bible says that you should not attend the Autoshow because of Easter. There are no restrictions on what you can do on Easter Sunday as long as it is not sinful and I do believe attending the Autoshow is not a sinful act.

Second
The Autoshow is an international tour. It begins in Detroit and moves from city to city. As well, Jacob Javitz has traditionally been scheduled for other events.... The motorcycle show is the first two week of January. There are other shows like the home show, the consumer electronics show that are in there as well.

Third
Sales are not down on Easter. I'm sure if it was nonexistent they would have changed it. Don't you? NY Autoshow is one of the best attended autoshows in North America. Most people can only go to the show on Saturday or Sunday since they work M to F....

Answer 2

Actually.....more people will be attending than you would think :)

Most schools are closed next week, Spring Break for college happens and for those that can't hit down to Florida, the Caribbean or Texas, if they venture into NYC, they may want to check out the show. Plus, this IS something to do for Easter day.

Answer 3

We go to the Auto Show every year on Easter. We have no kids yet, so dont have to attend the "annual easter egg hunt"...ALOT of people are their on Easter, including familys. We see the car show, head over to 5th ave and check out the nuts in the parade and than go a nice dinner. This is a stupid question.
