The Funky Town Card Show goes big for its late-July weekend edition, taking over the NTX Arena in Lewisville on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26, 2026. After building its reputation with free Friday-night shows in Arlington, the Funky Town crew brings the same community-first energy to one of the largest dedicated collectibles venues in North Texas — and keeps admission completely free for both days, which is remarkable for a show of this scale.
Expect a floor that covers nearly every corner of the hobby. Sports card dealers bring MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL inventory from vintage stars to the latest rookies, with graded PSA, BGS, and SGC slabs alongside raw singles and sealed wax. The TCG lineup is just as deep: Pokemon leads the way, joined by One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, and Dragon Ball singles and sealed product. Rounding out the room are comics, toys, autographs, memorabilia, anime goods, sneakers, video games, Disney collectibles, and other pop-culture finds, so this is a legitimate all-collectibles weekend rather than a cards-only affair.
Hours run 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on both Saturday and Sunday, giving this show some of the longest browsing windows on the DFW summer calendar. Saturday typically brings the fullest vendor turnout and the biggest crowds; Sunday is the bargain-hunter's day, when dealers who would rather sell than repack become noticeably more flexible on price.
Admission is free both days with no tickets required, and kids are welcome — between free entry, dollar boxes, and the sheer variety of non-card tables, this is one of the easiest big shows in the region to bring a family to.
The NTX Arena at 2401 S Stemmons Freeway in Lewisville is purpose-built for shows like this, with a huge air-conditioned floor, food vendors on site, and free parking. From Arlington, it is a straightforward 35-40 minute run up Highway 360 and I-35E; the venue sits just off the freeway, making it an easy day trip from anywhere in the Metroplex.
This weekend suits every type of collector. First-timers get a free look at a large-format show without the ticket cost that usually comes with one. Casual collectors can graze hundreds of tables across two days. Serious buyers get scale — enough dealers in one room to comparison-shop graded cards properly — and traders will find the Funky Town community as binder-friendly as ever. Vendors at this show also buy collections, so bring anything you want offers on.
Strategy tips: come Saturday morning near the 9:00 AM open if you are chasing specific cards, because the best inventory moves early; come Sunday afternoon if you are hunting deals. Bring cash, a want list, and comfortable shoes — the NTX Arena floor is big enough that a full lap takes real time. Consider both days if you are serious: scout and negotiate Saturday, close deals Sunday.
