Rocket Con is coming to Melbourne, Florida on January 3-4, 2026, and if you’re into Pokémon or trading card games, you’re going to want to know about this.
It’s a full weekend of trading, gaming, and hunting for rare cards. The best part? You get to hang out with people who actually understand why you’re willing to drive two hours for a specific Charizard variant.
Melbourne Auditorium has room for over 225 tables of Pokémon and TCG stuff. If you’re looking for rare Pokémon pulls, One Piece cards, Magic: The Gathering, or Disney Lorcana, there’s going to be a ton to dig through.
And honestly, it’s not just about the cards. These events are where you meet other collectors, swap stories about your best finds, and maybe finally complete that set you’ve been working on for months.
Rocket Con is at the Melbourne Auditorium, which is very easy to get to, with hotels and restaurants close by. Plus you’re only a few minutes from the beach, which means you could actually turn this into a proper weekend trip and include a beach day.
January 3-4, 2026, 10 AM to 4 PM
Melbourne Auditorium
625 E Hibiscus Blvd, Melbourne, FL 32901
