Starlight Cards Fest is a sports card show at The Barn at Brambleton in Ashburn, Virginia, on Saturday, October 17, 2026. Set in a rustic event space in the Brambleton community, this Loudoun County gathering gives collectors in Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, and Aldie a local option that feels more like a neighborhood festival than a big convention.
The show emphasizes sports cards. Expect tables of baseball, basketball, football, and hockey singles, along with rookies, inserts, and sealed products, and possibly graded cards and memorabilia. The name hints at a festival mood, so you may see themed vendors or extras beyond the standard table setup, but details are not published (VERIFY). Loudoun County's fast-growing hobby community has embraced local shows, so it is a great place to meet dealers and other collectors who live nearby.
The event runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Admission is not confirmed on the listing (VERIFY), so check the event page or contact organizers before you travel. The number of vendor tables is also unannounced.
The venue is The Barn at Brambleton, 24439 Evergreen Mills Road, Ashburn, VA 20148, which is a converted-barn style event facility. Expect on-site parking, but confirm arrangements with the organizers, and allow extra time because rural roads can back up when several events are held on the same weekend. Ashburn is close to Dulles Greenway and Route 50, so it is easy to reach from Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties.
This show is ideal for local families, sports card fans in Loudoun County, and collectors who enjoy a distinctive venue. It is also a good choice for dealers wanting to reach a more suburban audience than the crowded Beltway shows.
Arrive at opening for first pick, bring cash, and carry a want list. Check the weather because barn venues can have variable heating or airflow in the fall, and dress in layers. Ask dealers about upcoming Northern Virginia shows, since Loudoun sellers often appear at multiple events.
For updates, check the TreasureHunter.show listing and look for organizer announcements on social media.
