Kaboom returns to the Pan Asian Center in Maplewood for its October weekend, Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25, 2026. Falling on the last full weekend before Halloween, this date tends to draw a slightly different crowd than the September edition, with pop culture and non-sport collectors turning out alongside the regular card buyers and the vendor mix leaning a little harder into comics, figures and horror-adjacent collectibles.
Saturday hours are 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday runs 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free both days with no ticket required, parking is free in the venue lot, and free raffles run throughout the weekend with prizes typically announced on the show calendar beforehand.
The Pan Asian Center is at 3001 White Bear Avenue in Maplewood, part of the Maplewood Mall complex just off Interstate 694 on the northeast side of Saint Paul.
