Everything You Need to Know About Hawaii Card Shows

Hawaii has regular card shows across all four main islands, with the highest concentration on Oahu. Oahu hosts the Paradise Card Show, the Pearlridge Show (every 2nd Saturday and Sunday), Uncle Tony's Trade Night at Pearlridge (every 3rd Friday), Bayview Night Market (1st and 3rd Tuesdays), ToyLynx Trade Night (1st and 3rd Thursdays), and annual events like the Aloha Card Show at Blaisdell Center and Hawaii PopCon. The Big Island, Maui, and Kauai each host occasional shows as well. See the full calendar for upcoming shows with dates and venues.

There are card shows happening weekly in Hawaii — between recurring trade nights, monthly shows, and one-off events, something is almost always on the schedule. Most Oahu shows are mixed-TCG with strong Pokemon presence, ranging from casual trade nights to large annual conventions with 50+ vendors. Check the upcoming shows calendar to see what's on the schedule this week.

Most Hawaii card shows accept vendor applications through online sign-up forms, Instagram DMs, or direct contact with the organizer. Each show listing includes organizer details and, when available, a vendor application link. Vendor table fees typically range from $100 to $200 per table depending on the show size and venue. If you're new to vending, smaller trade nights are a great way to start before committing to larger conventions.

Yes. While Oahu hosts the most frequent shows, the neighbor islands have a growing scene:

• Maui: Maui Sports Cards in Kahului hosts trade nights and occasional card shows at Iao Middle School.
• Big Island: TCG Hawaii in Hilo runs a KBXtreme event on the first Sunday of every month. Big Island Breaks in Kona is Pokemon-focused (sealed, singles, slabs).
• Kauai: Fewer regular shows but a close-knit community through Bubbah's Toy Box and Crow's Nest.

We track TCG events across all four main islands.

Visit the Submit Your Event section and fill out the form with your event details: event name, date, venue, times, organizer contact, and a short description. Our team reviews every submission and adds approved events to the calendar, typically within 24 to 48 hours. Submission is free and open to any organizer running a TCG or collectible event in Hawaii.

Hawaii card shows feature a wide range of trading cards and collectibles:

• Pokemon (sealed, singles, graded slabs)
• Sports cards — baseball, basketball, football, soccer
• Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece TCG, Dragon Ball Super, Magic: The Gathering
• Vintage cards and Japanese imports
• Sealed wax and booster boxes
• Graded slabs (PSA, CGC, BGS)
• Accessories — binders, toploaders, sleeves

Some shows also include comics, Funko Pops, Hot Wheels, anime figures, and other pop culture collectibles (e.g. Collector Megalopolis at Pearlridge).

It depends on the show. Many trade nights and community-hosted events are free to attend. Larger card shows typically charge $5 to $10 at the door, often with kids 12 and under free. Annual conventions like Hawaii PopCon have their own ticketing structure. Individual show pages list admission details when provided by the organizer.

Most Hawaii card shows are family-friendly and welcome keiki. Pokemon is especially popular with younger collectors, and many shows run goodie bag giveaways for the first kids through the door. The Paradise Card Show has featured goodie bags for the first 100 keiki at past events. Shows held at malls like Pearlridge are particularly accessible for families.

If you're attending as a browser:

• Cash (many small vendors prefer it)
• A list of cards you're hunting for
• A binder of anything you want to trade
• Sleeves or a hard case for any valuable cards you plan to carry

If you're planning to trade, organize your trade binder by set or value. Shows can get crowded, so comfortable shoes and a small bag help. Most shows allow cameras and phone photos, but always ask a vendor before photographing their inventory.

Oahu averages several card shows, trade nights, and markets every week. Between the recurring trade nights at ToyLynx, Uncle Tony's at Pearlridge, TCG Tavern Trade Day, Bayview Night Market, and one-off shows, there's usually something happening every week on Oahu. Neighbor islands have fewer but still regular events. The Hawaii Card Shows calendar shows a rolling 7-day window of what's upcoming.
