The Home Town Card Show's June 2026 edition lands at Fast Friends Beer Company on Father's Day, Sunday, June 21 — and the organizers have leaned into the theme with a dad-and-kid pull party, giveaways for first-time showgoers, and a few extra vintage tables scouted specifically for the occasion. It's the most family-friendly day on the Austin card calendar.
The show's usual 30-ish vendor tables expand slightly for this edition, spreading into the taproom and the front patio. Dealers cover the full hobby: MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer on the sports side, with a strong emphasis on affordable vintage and modern rookies under $50. TCG specialists bring Pokémon (from WOTC base through Scarlet & Violet chase hits), Magic: The Gathering Commander staples and Modern staples, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z Fusion World singles. A handful of tables lean into oddball — Funko Pops, Beckett and PSA slabs, vintage non-sport, Garbage Pail Kids, and 90s insert chase.
Doors are 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with an unofficial post-show dealer hang running later at the bar. Admission is free, which makes this one of the easiest recommendations in Austin for a family outing or a first card show. Kids are encouraged — a few dealers always run a free commons bin specifically so first-time collectors can walk out with a starter stack. The brewery has non-alcoholic options, a rotating Sunday food truck, and plenty of picnic tables for sorting your haul.
Fast Friends Beer Company is at 10900 Menchaca Road in far South Austin, an easy drive from Buda, Manchaca, Kyle, and anywhere south of 71. Parking is free in the brewery lot; overflow street parking is available. The entire venue is single-story, dog-friendly, and wheelchair accessible. Restrooms, water, and seating are plentiful, which matters on a South Austin June afternoon.
Best fit: families, casual collectors, TCG players picking up singles between tournaments, and budget hunters who want dime-bin and dollar-bin depth. Serious dealers stop by too, often as buyers scouting for fresh-to-market estate inventory that shows up at community events like this. Because the crowd is relaxed, it's also a great place to take a friend who has never been to a card show.
Tips: bring cash in small bills (dealers take Venmo and Zelle, but cash gets the sharpest price), a short want list, and a top loader or two for any clean pickups. Arrive within the first 45 minutes for the cleanest dime-bin picks, or roll in around 3:30 PM for the end-of-day deals as dealers start packing. Dress for patio weather — June in South Austin can push 95 degrees. Follow @hometowncardshow on Instagram for the final vendor list, food truck announcement, and any Father's Day giveaway details.
