Hawaii Shows moves its Pokemon, Sports Cards & More series to the Prince Waikiki on Sunday, October 25, 2026, opening at 10:00 AM. After a run of editions at the Ala Moana Hotel, the October show shifts a few blocks toward Waikiki to the Prince, the harbor-front hotel at 100 Holomoana Street overlooking the Ala Wai Boat Harbor. It also lands on the same Sunday as day two of the Spotlight Card Show at the Hawaii Convention Center, which is a ten-minute walk away, making October 25 the single biggest card-show day on Oahu all year.
The format follows the series template. Pokemon vendors bring current chase cards, Japanese imports, sealed product, and graded vintage. Sports card dealers, many of whom vend at both Hawaii Shows and Spotlight, bring NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL rookies, autographs, and vintage, with island athletes always a highlight. The more category covers One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, Dragon Ball, comics, Funko Pops, memorabilia, and vintage toys. The September edition ran more than 100 tables and included a free Quest scavenger game with prizes for every attendee; the organizer has not yet posted the table count or activities for the Prince Waikiki edition, so check the listing for updates.
Doors open at 10:00 AM; the series typically runs until 5:00 PM. Admission for the September show was $5 with children 12 and under free, and the October edition is expected to follow the same policy, though it has not been formally confirmed. Verify on the Hawaii Shows Instagram or the hawaiicardshows.com listing before you go.
The Prince Waikiki sits at the Ala Moana end of Waikiki, beside the harbor and a short walk from Ala Moana Center. Valet and self-parking are available at the hotel at event rates, and the Ala Moana Center garages offer free parking within a ten-minute walk. The hotel's function rooms are indoor and air conditioned, and the neighborhood is thick with restaurants, from the hotel's own 100 Sails to the Ala Moana food court.
This is a natural add-on for anyone attending Spotlight: hit the convention center at 11:00 AM, walk to the Prince in the afternoon, and finish the day at the harbor. It suits families, casual collectors, and serious buyers alike, and the modest admission keeps it accessible. Vintage collectors and Pokemon set builders both do well at Hawaii Shows events.
Tips: arrive at 10:00 AM if you are chasing specific cards, bring cash and a want list, pack sleeves and top loaders, and plan your Spotlight and Prince Waikiki route in advance if you intend to do both. Sunday afternoon is deal time at both shows.
Follow Hawaii Shows and @hawaiicardshows on Instagram for confirmed hours, admission, and table counts. The series returns to the Ala Moana Hotel on November 29.
