Two weeks after its Labor Day weekend edition, the Funky Town Card Show returns to the Meadowbrook Recreation Center on Friday, September 18, 2026 for another free evening on the Arlington hobby calendar. The series runs on a roughly every-other-Friday rhythm, and this mid-September date lands right as the new football season heats up and the fall Pokemon release cycle gets moving — two things that reliably change what shows up on the tables.
Expect somewhere in the range of 65 to 85 vendor tables, packed into a comfortable recreation-center hall that fills up quickly once the doors open at 6:00 PM.
The show runs a single four-hour block, 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Serious buyers work the room between 6:00 and 7:00 PM while cases are still full.
Admission is free. There is no ticket, no registration and no line, and parking on site is free too.
Meadowbrook Recreation Center is at 1400 Dugan Street in central Arlington, a few blocks south of East Abram Street and minutes from downtown, the UTA campus and the entertainment district. Highway 360, I-30 and Division Street all feed it easily, which keeps the drive short from Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Kennedale, Hurst and Pantego.
