The PokeDojo Night Show is Brighton Beach's bi-weekly Saturday night Pokemon gathering, and the September 12, 2026 edition runs from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Reds Trading House, 130 Brighton Beach Avenue in Brooklyn. Hosted by the shop itself, it is a free, all-ages evening built around collecting, trading, and hanging out, and it has become a fixture for south Brooklyn collectors who want something more social than a Sunday convention-hall show.
The focus is Pokemon, with the shop's own inventory and visiting collectors supplying the cards. Expect modern singles and alt arts, Japanese product, sealed boosters and boxes, graded slabs, and trade binders everywhere you look. Reds Trading House also stocks One Piece and other trading card games, so those show up on the tables too, along with supplies. The scale is intimate compared with a hotel ballroom show, but that is exactly the appeal: trade night energy, quick deals, and regulars who know each other. Pack openings, trade battles, and casual play are all part of a normal night here.
Hours are 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM in a single block. Entry is free for all ages, no ticket required, so you can drop in for an hour or stay the whole evening. The show runs every other Saturday, so if you cannot make September 12, the next editions fall on September 26, October 10, and October 24, 2026, all at the same time and place.
Reds Trading House sits on Brighton Beach Avenue directly under the elevated B and Q lines; the Brighton Beach station is a one-minute walk, which makes transit the easy choice. If you are driving, street parking along Brighton Beach Avenue and the side streets is limited on weekend evenings, so give yourself extra time or look toward the Coney Island lots. The neighborhood is packed with restaurants, and the boardwalk is a few blocks away for a pre-show walk.
This event is ideal for Pokemon collectors of any age who want to trade rather than just buy, for teens and families looking for a free Saturday activity, for competitive players restocking singles, and for anyone new to the hobby who wants a welcoming, low-pressure room to learn in. Serious buyers can still find graded and high-end cards, but the atmosphere is community first.
Tips: bring your trade binder and know your comps, because trading is the main event. Cash is the fastest way to close a deal with other attendees. Arrive on the earlier side if you want the shop staff's full attention for a collection evaluation. For updates, the shop posts on Instagram and the event is listed on ontreasure.com; check either for any schedule changes on show day. The shop also runs pack openings and occasional trade battles during the night, and staff are happy to evaluate a collection on the spot if you are thinking about selling, which makes this a practical stop as well as a social one for south Brooklyn collectors.
