The Bakersfield Card Expo closes out its 2026 calendar with the much-anticipated Holiday Edition on Saturday, November 14, 2026 at the Dignity Health Convention Center, offering Kern County collectors one final free-admission card show before the holiday shopping season kicks into high gear. The Holiday Edition has become a cherished tradition for collectors in Bakersfield and across Kern County, providing the perfect opportunity to score cards for your own collection, pick up thoughtful gifts for the sports and Pokemon card fans in your life, and connect with the hobby community one last time before the new year.
The Bakersfield Card Expo Holiday Edition runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, November 14. Arrive at 10:00 AM when the doors open for the best access to holiday-stocked vendor inventory before the mid-morning crowds build throughout the aisles.
The Dignity Health Convention Center at 1001 Truxton Avenue in downtown Bakersfield provides a comfortable indoor environment for the November show with central heating, bright lighting, and wide aisles ideal for relaxed holiday browsing.
For the best holiday card show experience, arrive early, bring cash for deal-making and to take advantage of cash-only holiday specials, prepare both a gift list and your personal want list so you can shop efficiently, and follow the Bakersfield Card Expo at bakersfieldcardexpo.com and on social media for vendor announcements and any special holiday giveaways or promotions before the show.
