Carson City Card Con, known as C4, is a two-day trading card convention on November 7 and 8, 2026 in Carson City, Nevada, produced by 97toNow Productions. Positioned as Carson City's premier card show, it blends vendor tables with tournaments, arcade games, guests, and a sleek, esports-inspired atmosphere, giving northern Nevada collectors a major weekend event within easy reach of Reno, Minden, Gardnerville, and Lake Tahoe.
The show centers on competitive gaming and collecting. Tournaments for Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, and similar card games offer sealed booster boxes as prizes, while a vendor hall featuring regional retailers sells singles, sealed product, accessories, and collectibles. Special guests, including artists, voice actors, and influencers, are part of the lineup, and attendees have chances to get cards autographed.
Free console and arcade games are a standout feature. Organizers advertise full-size arcade cabinets ranging from modern to retro, which keeps younger visitors and gamers entertained between tournament rounds. Live demonstrations and an esports-style presentation give the event more of a festival feel than a traditional card show.
Hours are listed as 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on both days, in Pacific Time, an unusually early start that rewards early arrivals and tournament competitors. Tickets are sold through Eventeny, and pricing was not displayed in the sources reviewed, so check the ticket page before you plan your budget.
The event is listed at the MAC Multi-Purpose Athletic Center Facility, 1860 Russell Way, Carson City, NV 89706. The organizers note free parking across multiple lots, accessible parking and facilities, and an information desk with first aid supplies. Another listing names the Carson City Community Center, so verify the venue before traveling.
C4 is ideal for tournament players, families who want games beyond shopping, local collectors, and vendors who want exposure to the Carson Valley and Reno-Sparks markets. First-time attendees will find a friendly, community-driven event rather than a massive convention, which makes it easy to navigate.
To make the most of the weekend, arrive early, particularly if you plan to enter a tournament, and register in advance where possible. Bring a deck box, sleeves, and dice for play, a want list for the vendor hall, and some cash for smaller purchases. If you want autographs, keep your cards in protective sleeves and check the guest schedule so you can plan your time.
The mix of gaming, shopping, and entertainment also makes C4 a good choice for groups with different interests. One person can be in a tournament while others browse the vendor tables or try the arcade cabinets, then everyone can meet up for lunch in downtown Carson City.

Carson City is not one of the tracked rotation cities, and it is a worthwhile regional addition for Nevada hobbyists.
