Atlanta Card Fest storms the Atlanta Expo Center for three massive days, October 16 through 18, 2026, delivering one of the biggest pure card events on the city's fall calendar. Produced by the Collect X Conventions team, Card Fest is built around the core of the hobby: aisle after aisle of dealers buying and selling trading cards, collectibles, and autographs, without the celebrity-photo-op overhead of the pop-culture cons.
Hours run Friday from 12 PM to 6 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM. General admission starts around ten dollars per day, with VIP options that include entry one hour before general doors each day, and tickets are sold through the event's Eventeny page and the Collect X site.
The Atlanta Expo Center at 3650 Jonesboro Road SE sits just off I-285 on the south side, ten minutes from the airport and easily reached from the entire metro. Parking is plentiful and the expo-hall format means wide aisles, concessions on site, and space for the crowds a three-day show draws.
