The Aloha Card Show brings its summer edition to Windward Mall in Kaneohe on Friday, July 31 and Saturday, August 1, 2026, and it is one of the biggest card events on Oahu this summer. Organized by Aloha Card Shop — the same team behind the flagship September show at the Blaisdell Center and Hawaii Pop Con — this two-day event packs 100-plus tables of cards, comics, and collectibles into the windward side's largest shopping center, and admission is completely free.
The vendor floor covers the full spread of the modern hobby. Sports card collectors will find MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL singles, vintage cardboard, and graded slabs from PSA, BGS, and CGC, including plenty of players with Hawaii ties. On the trading card game side, expect deep Pokemon inventory — English and Japanese — alongside Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Lorcana. Beyond cards, the Aloha Card Show format traditionally pulls in comics, Funko Pops, toys, and pop-culture memorabilia, which makes it a genuine family outing rather than a cards-only affair.
The show runs during regular mall hours both days, typically opening around 10:00 AM; check alohacardshow.com or the @alohacardshow Instagram for the confirmed schedule the week of the event. Because it is free and inside a busy mall, foot traffic builds through the day — the first couple of hours on Friday are the calmest window for serious table-by-table digging, while Saturday brings the biggest crowds and the liveliest atmosphere.
Windward Mall sits at 46-056 Kamehameha Highway in Kaneohe, about 25 to 30 minutes from downtown Honolulu over the Likelike or Pali Highway — one of the prettiest drives to any card show anywhere. Parking is free in the mall lots and garage, and the mall's food court and surrounding restaurants make it easy to spend the whole day.
This show is built for everyone. Families with keiki collectors get a free, air-conditioned event with plenty beyond cards to look at. Casual collectors get 100-plus tables to dig through without an admission fee eating into the budget. Serious collectors and dealers treat the Windward Mall edition as the summer warm-up for the September Blaisdell flagship — many of the same vendors set up at both, and deals struck here often continue at the fall show.
To make the most of it: arrive early on day one, because the best vintage and graded inventory always moves first. Bring cash — most vendors take cards and payment apps, but cash still closes deals faster and earns discounts. Carry a want list, bring a binder if you want to trade, and do not skip the last hour of Saturday, when vendors who would rather not pack inventory back up become noticeably more flexible on price.

Between the free entry, the vendor count, and the windward setting, this is the easiest big show of the summer to say yes to — and a perfect preview of the flagship Blaisdell show on September 19–20.
