The Waukesha Card Show closes its 2026 season at the Waukesha County Expo Center on Saturday, December 19, 2026 — the last Saturday before Christmas and, by a wide margin, the final major card show of the year in southeastern Wisconsin. Two hundred-plus tables and over a hundred dealers, six days before the holiday, makes this the region's last-call shopping run for anyone with a collector on their list.
Hours run 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM Central. Admission is two dollars for adults, free for children twelve and under, and free for everyone after 1:00 PM.
The Waukesha County Expo Center is at 1000 Northview Road in Waukesha, about twenty-five minutes west of downtown Milwaukee off Interstate 94. Parking is free and abundant; the organizers ask that you park and enter on the east side of the building, which is well worth following in December weather.
With five hours and a big crowd, plan ahead: arrive at 10:00 AM, take one orientation lap, hit your priority categories, then browse. The last hour, once admission goes free, is when December sellers get most flexible. Contact [email protected] for vendor information.
