Carmel Pokemon Show

Carmel Pokemon Show is a Pokémon-focused card show held at American Legion Post 155 in Carmel, Indiana. It is a local, single-game event: if you collect, trade or sell Pokémon cards and live in the north side of the Indianapolis area, it is built for you.

Dates and venues

The show has met four times in 2026, all on Sundays, mostly at the Legion post. The April edition is the exception: the venue for that date is given only as a street address, 852 W. Main St. Admission was free in March and April, and the May and June shows charged at the door.

All four dates have already passed, so the next edition will need to be confirmed before you plan a trip or book a table.

History

The show began in spring 2026 and has run at roughly monthly intervals since, with a gap in early June. The move from free admission in the first two editions to paid admission from May on suggests the show found enough of a crowd to start covering its costs, though the amount charged is not something to assume. The Legion post has been the home base for three of the four dates.

Getting there

American Legion Post 155 is in Carmel, north of Indianapolis. Check the street address against the venue for each date, since the April show was held at a different address than the other three.

Who it suits

Carmel Pokemon Show fits Pokémon collectors and casual traders who want a small, local show rather than a large multi-game convention, and vendors with Pokémon stock who want a lower-key room to test. Because the format, table prices and vendor count are not established here, vendors should confirm those details with the organizer before committing.
