Home Town Cards & Collectibles brings its Fall and Winter Card Show Tour to the Holiday Inn Austin-Town Lake on Sunday, October 11, 2026, with 40 tables of vetted trading card game vendors, free entry, and free parking in the heart of the city. The Town Lake Holiday Inn sits right on Interstate 35 at the edge of downtown, which makes this one of the most centrally located shows in Austin and an easy stop for collectors from every side of town.
The floor is compact and TCG-focused. Pokemon vendors bring modern chase cards, vintage holos, graded slabs, and sealed product. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, Flesh and Blood, and Riftbound are represented, and a handful of tables carry sports cards across NFL, NBA, and MLB along with Funko Pops and anime collectibles. Vendor booths for this date sold out in advance, so expect a full room.
Hours for this date follow Home Town's standard Sunday format of 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM; confirm on the event page before attending. The opening hour is when showcases are freshest, and the final hour is when vendors deal most freely.
Admission is free and no tickets are required. Hotel parking is free for show attendees.
The Holiday Inn Austin-Town Lake is located at 20 North Interstate 35, Austin, TX 78701, on the east side of downtown at the Lady Bird Lake crossing, minutes from the Convention Center and Rainey Street. The hotel has a restaurant on site, and East Cesar Chavez's restaurants and coffee shops are a short walk away. Downtown traffic is light on Sunday mornings.
This show suits Pokemon and TCG collectors, families with kids, downtown and East Austin residents who want a show without a drive, and traders who appreciate a smaller, focused room. Sports card collectors will find a limited selection and should treat it as a TCG event.
To make the most of it, arrive at opening, bring cash for the best deals, and carry a sorted trade binder and want list. With 40 tables, a full lap takes under an hour, so there is time to trade and revisit tables before the afternoon deals.

The 40-table format is smaller than Home Town's Pflugerville and Onion Creek shows, and that is part of the appeal for many regulars. The room is easy to work, vendors have time to talk, and the central location makes it a natural place to meet up with other collectors before heading to lunch on the east side.
Parking is the one thing to plan for at this venue. The hotel lot is free for attendees but modest in size, and on a busy Sunday it can fill by early afternoon, so arriving near opening is the easy fix. Street parking along the east side of I-35 and in the surrounding blocks is an option if the lot is full.
