The Funky Town Card Show holds its mid-October Friday night at the Meadowbrook Recreation Center on October 16, 2026, doors 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, free as always. Mid-month Fridays at this series have their own character — slightly smaller than the first-Friday editions, slightly more relaxed, and consistently the best of the month for people who come to trade rather than to shop.
From 6:00 to 7:00 PM, buyers hit the cases while everything is still out. From 7:00 to 9:00 PM the room turns social — binders open, trades stack up, and this is when the Funky Town crowd is at its best. After 9:00 PM the discounts appear, because a dealer choosing between a fair offer and repacking a tote will usually take the offer.
Admission is free with no ticket, registration or door line, and parking on site is free.
Meadowbrook Recreation Center is at 1400 Dugan Street in central Arlington, just south of East Abram Street, minutes from downtown, UTA and the entertainment district. Highway 360, I-30 and Division Street feed it directly, keeping the drive short from Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Kennedale, Pantego, Hurst and Euless.
If you are selling, arrive at 6:00 PM while the buying tables still have cash on hand.
