The Rift TCG Card Show lands on Sunday, November 29, 2026, the final day of Thanksgiving weekend, at American Legion Post 64 on the west side of Indianapolis. After Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, this is a chance to finish holiday shopping with local vendors, and many families use the Sunday after Thanksgiving to get out of the house with visiting relatives. A TCG show is an easy, inexpensive way to do that.
The focus is trading card games, with Pokemon as the anchor. Expect modern Scarlet and Violet singles and special illustration rares, sealed booster bundles, elite trainer boxes and tins that make straightforward gifts, plus vintage cards and graded slabs for adult collectors. The organizer also lists Magic: The Gathering, One Piece Card Game and Dragon Ball, and you are likely to see Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, Digimon and Riftbound on at least a few tables. Accessory vendors carrying sleeves, binders, deck boxes and playmats are especially helpful at this time of year, since supplies make great stocking stuffers.
Entry follows the familiar Rift format. VIP entry opens at 10:00 AM for ten dollars, and general admission is free from 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM Eastern. Kids are welcome during free hours, which makes it budget friendly for groups.
The venue is Kenneth N. Dowden Wayne Post 64 at 601 South Holt Road, Indianapolis, IN 46241, near the Holt Road interchange on I-70. The post has a large free parking lot and a single-level hall, and it is about ten minutes from downtown Indianapolis. With the holiday weekend, traffic around shopping centers may be heavy, but the Holt Road corridor is generally easy to navigate on a Sunday.
This date is ideal for gift shoppers, parents with Pokemon-obsessed kids, and anyone who received cash over the holiday and wants to spend it on cards. Competitive players can grab singles for December League Cups, and collectors can trade duplicates with relatives or new friends. It is also a good show for first-timers because the Sunday pace is relaxed.
Some practical advice: set a gift budget per person before you arrive, and ask vendors to assemble a bundle within that budget. Sealed product sells fast during the holidays, so if you need a specific box, consider the VIP hour. Bring cash in small bills, check online prices for big purchases, and bring bags or boxes to protect gifts. If you are shopping for a player, ask what deck they use so you can target cards they will actually play.
Families hosting out-of-town relatives will find the show an easy group activity, since the free general admission window means nobody has to pay to browse.
