Wilson County Pokefest is a two-day TCG-focused weekend in Lebanon, Tennessee on June 27–28, 2026, built around Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, original art, and mixed trading-card collectibles. Held at the Wilson County fairgrounds, it gives Middle Tennessee collectors a relaxed, community-driven room to browse vendor tables, compare cards in person, make trades, and spend a summer weekend around fellow hobbyists.
Pokémon is the headline category, with dealers bringing everything from modern Scarlet & Violet chase cards and sealed product to older WOTC-era singles, graded slabs, and affordable character pickups for binders. Around that core you will find Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, and other games, plus original art, custom pieces, and a range of mixed collectibles. Because the floor is buy-sell-trade rather than just a sales room, it is a great place to bring a trade binder and work deals directly with other collectors — the kind of in-person dealing that is hard to replicate online.
Hours vary by day: Saturday, June 27 runs 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sunday, June 28 runs 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, both Central Time. General admission is $5, and recent flyers for the series have highlighted a Pokémon pack giveaway for the first 200 paid attendees — a nice reason to arrive early, especially for families and newer collectors who enjoy a small pack-opening moment on top of the show-floor hunt. The two-day format means you can scout Saturday, sleep on a purchase, and circle back Sunday.
The venue is the James E. Ward Agricultural Center's Made in Tennessee Building, 945 East Baddour Parkway, Lebanon, TN 37087. Event notes place the building across from the Farm Bureau Expo Building on the fairgrounds grounds, with parking available along Fiddlers Grove Court and a larger lot behind the building. The fairgrounds setting is spacious, easy to navigate, and an easy drive from Nashville, Mt. Juliet, Hermitage, Gallatin, Murfreesboro, and Cookeville.
This show fits collectors of every level. Beginners can use it as an approachable entry into the local TCG scene — asking questions at tables, comparing cards in hand, and learning how condition and pricing work in person rather than from listings. Casual collectors can hunt favorite characters, affordable singles, sealed packs, and art across Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Lorcana. More experienced collectors can compare copies, negotiate face to face, look for grading candidates, and see what local vendors brought for the weekend. Families will find the broad TCG focus and pack-giveaway angle especially welcoming, and competitive players can scout singles for upcoming events.
For the best experience, arrive near opening — especially Saturday — for first crack at fresh inventory and the early-admission pack giveaway. Bring cash for the gate and small purchases plus a payment app as backup, carry a want list organized by game, and pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a trade binder if you plan to deal. Take a full first lap before committing your budget, then circle back to the tables and cases worth a second look.
