The Bayview Night Market returns to Bayview Golf Course in Kaneohe on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, bringing back one of the most distinctive recurring card events anywhere in Hawaii. Hosted by PKMN Collective on the first and third Tuesday of every month, this open-air evening market blends the energy of a card show with the laid-back feel of a windward-side night market — and there is nothing else quite like it on the Oahu collector calendar.
The outdoor market format sets the tone. Vendors and traders set up as the afternoon cools off, and the event runs into the evening as the sun drops behind the Koolau mountains. Pokemon is the anchor, as you would expect from a PKMN Collective event — modern chase cards, alt arts, Japanese singles and promos, vintage holos, graded slabs, and bulk boxes for young set-builders all make regular appearances. But the market draws a wider mix too: sports card binders with MLB, NBA, and NFL singles, One Piece and Lorcana traders, and collectibles vendors round out the tables. Because it is a weeknight market rather than a weekend mega-show, prices and trades tend to be friendlier, and vendors have time to actually talk story.
The 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM window is one of the most flexible on the island. Come straight from work, bring the family after school, or roll in for the golden-hour stretch when the market is at its liveliest. Entry is free, and the event repeats every first and third Tuesday, so August 4 and August 18 both offer a shot this month.
Bayview Golf Course sits at 45-285 Kaneohe Bay Drive in Kaneohe, an easy drive from Honolulu over the Likelike or Pali Highway, or a quick hop from Kailua and the rest of the windward side. On-site parking is free and plentiful, and the golf course setting means open space, fresh air, and a far more relaxed footprint than a packed convention hall or mall corridor.
This event is tailor-made for families and casual collectors — keiki are everywhere, the atmosphere is unhurried, and a free outdoor market is about as low-stakes as the hobby gets. But do not mistake relaxed for small-time: serious Pokemon collectors treat Bayview as a reliable source night, and some of the best trade deals on the island happen at these tables precisely because the setting keeps everything friendly.
A few tips: bring cash, since outdoor vendors are more cash-oriented than mall shows, and small bills speed everything up. Pack your trade binder, sleeves, and top loaders. An evening breeze off Kaneohe Bay is real — a box or binder keeps loose cards from becoming a chase scene. Arrive on the earlier side if you have specific targets, and stay late if you are deal hunting, as the final hour often produces the most flexible pricing of the night.
