Collectors across Florida have a fun weekend to look forward to as Tampa Bay Collectorfest returns April 18–19 for two full days of toys, comics, and pop culture finds.
The event takes place at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, where more than 150 tables are expected to fill the space with collectibles from every corner of fandom. From vintage toys and action figures to comics, retro video games, diecast cars, and nostalgic favorites, there will be plenty to dig through all weekend long.
Collectors can expect to see everything from classic toy lines to modern releases, along with artwork, Funko Pops, wrestling figures, and hard-to-find items that don’t always pop up at local shops. It’s the kind of show where you never really know what you’ll find — and that’s half the fun.
The event runs Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM to 4 PM. Kids 12 and under get in free, making it an easy stop for families, longtime collectors, and anyone who just enjoys browsing tables packed with nostalgia.
If you love hunting for collectibles, rediscovering childhood favorites, or just spending a weekend surrounded by pop culture, this is one worth checking out. For more information about this convention, Tampa Bay Collectorfest.
