The Brown County Sports & TCG Expo 2 sets up inside Mike's Dance Barn in Nashville, Indiana, on Sunday, October 11, 2026, giving southern Indianapolis metro collectors a reason to combine a card show with one of the prettiest fall drives in the state. Brown County is part of the Indianapolis metropolitan area, and mid-October is peak leaf season in the hills around Nashville, so this second edition of the expo doubles as a day trip for the whole family.
The expo is built to cover both sides of the hobby. On the sports side, expect baseball, football and basketball singles with plenty of Colts, Pacers, Reds and Cubs inventory, a mix of vintage commons and stars, modern Prizm, Optic, Topps Chrome and Bowman, and graded slabs from PSA, BGS and SGC in the display cases. The TCG side leans on Pokemon, with modern chase cards, sealed product and binder-friendly bulk, and you should also see Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Lorcana on at least a few tables. Organizers advertise sixty tables and free giveaways, which is a solid size for a rural venue and enough to fill a couple of hours of browsing.
Hours are 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern. Early-bird admission from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM costs five dollars, and general admission is free from 11:00 AM until close. Kids are welcome, and the giveaway format makes it an easy sell for younger collectors.
Mike's Dance Barn sits at 2277 State Road 46 in Nashville, IN, east of downtown Nashville on the main route in from Columbus and Bloomington. From the south side of Indianapolis, plan on roughly an hour via I-65 and SR 46 or via SR 135 through Morgantown. The barn has on-site parking, but fall weekends in Brown County bring heavy traffic into Nashville proper, so allow extra time and consider arriving early to beat the tourist crowds heading to the shops and Brown County State Park.
Please note that this Nashville is the small Brown County town in Indiana, not Nashville, Tennessee. It is a good fit for families making a fall-color weekend of it, casual collectors who like smaller relaxed shows, and serious buyers who know that rural shows often surface fresh collections from people who never make it to the big metro events. Players looking for TCG singles will find enough to make the trip worthwhile, especially if they pair it with a stop at a local shop along the way.
Some practical tips. Decide whether the five-dollar early bird is worth it; if you are hunting underpriced vintage or sealed Pokemon, the first two hours matter. Bring cash, since cell service can be spotty in the hills and card readers occasionally struggle. Pack a want list and protective supplies. Afterward, downtown Nashville has plenty of lunch spots, fudge shops and galleries within a few minutes' drive, so it is easy to turn the show into a full day out.
