The River City Card Show rolls into the Southbank Hotel Jacksonville Riverwalk on Sunday, June 21, 2026 for a full day of trading card action along the banks of the St. Johns River. This single-day summer edition is one of the most accessible shows on the North Florida calendar, pairing free admission and free parking with a scenic riverfront venue that keeps collectors coming back month after month.
The show floor covers nearly every corner of the hobby. Sports card dealers stock MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer inventory that runs from vintage Topps and Bowman issues of the 1950s and 1960s through modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium hits from National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. TCG vendors fill binders and showcases with Pokémon singles and sealed product — vintage Wizards of the Coast cards through the latest Scarlet & Violet chase hits — along with Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, and Flesh and Blood. You will also find graded slabs from PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC, autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supplies.
The show runs Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EDT. Admission is completely free and parking in the Southbank Hotel lot is free as well — a rare and welcome combination that makes this an easy stop whether you have twenty minutes or the whole afternoon to browse.
The Southbank Hotel is located at 1515 Prudential Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32207, directly on the Riverwalk with views of downtown Jacksonville across the water. The venue is a quick drive from I-95 via the Prudential Drive exit and reachable from downtown via the Acosta and Main Street bridges. Additional street parking and public lots sit nearby. The climate-controlled ballroom is a comfortable escape from the June heat, with on-site restrooms and hotel dining steps away. The show floor is fully ADA accessible.
This event suits every kind of collector. Veteran dealers treat it as a restocking day and bring trade binders to swap table to table. Casual collectors and families enjoy the free admission and relaxed pace, where kids can dig through dime bins and affordable singles while parents hunt for grails. Competitive TCG players use the show to fill out decklists ahead of summer league events, and first-timers will find plenty of friendly dealers happy to explain grading, pricing, and how to spot a good deal.
For the best experience, arrive right at 9:00 AM when inventory is freshest and dealers are sharpest on price. Bring cash in small denominations — the universal hobby currency that unlocks the best deals — along with a printed or digital want list sorted by set and card number, penny sleeves and top loaders for raw pickups, and a sturdy box or backpack for your haul. Make one scouting lap before committing to big purchases, then circle back in the final hour, when vendors routinely cut deals rather than pack product for the drive home.
