PKMN Collective's Bayview Night Market opens October with its first-Tuesday edition on October 6, 2026, at Bayview Golf Course in Kaneohe, running 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM. For Windward Oahu collectors this twice-monthly outdoor market is the home game, and the first-Tuesday date is usually the busier of the two each month because it follows the weekend's big shows and everyone arrives with fresh trade bait.
The early-October timing is notable for Pokemon fans. The fall set release cycle means new English product has just hit shelves, and this market is typically the first place on the Windward side where the new chase cards start circulating in trade binders. Expect a full spread of current-era singles, Japanese promos and exclusives, sealed booster boxes and ETBs, and graded vintage from the WOTC era. PKMN Collective members are especially active set builders, so reverse holos, bulk rares, and trainer gallery cards move as steadily as the big hits. Other games appear in smaller numbers: One Piece, Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Magic: The Gathering, plus a few sports card binders with NFL and NBA rookies.
Hours are 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The market fills in from about 5:00 PM as people finish work and school, and the trading is most active from sunset onward when the temperature drops.
Bayview Golf Course is at 45-285 Kaneohe Bay Drive, a short hop off Kamehameha Highway in Kaneohe, about 25 minutes from Honolulu via the Pali or Likelike. Parking is free in the course's lot. Vendors set up under canopies on the grounds, so bring a light layer for the evening trade winds and be ready for a passing shower. Food is generally available on site and the Windward Mall and Kaneohe town restaurants are minutes away.
Admission is free with no registration; just walk in with your binder.
This market is one of the best events on the island for families and beginners. The open-air layout is relaxed, the trade-first culture treats kids as full participants, and the PKMN Collective regulars are generous with advice on values and set-building. Experienced collectors come for the volume of trades and for Japanese cards that circulate within the Collective's network.
A few tips: sort your binder by set and rarity; bring a phone light or small flashlight for checking centering and surfaces after dark; carry small bills for cash-plus-trade deals; and bring sleeves, top loaders, and a small box for pickups. If you want first pick at vendor tables, arrive before 5:00 PM.

If you have never been, the golf course clubhouse is the landmark to look for; the market sets up on the grounds just beyond the parking lot, and regulars are quick to point newcomers toward the trade tables. The second October market is Tuesday, October 20.
