Hunt for Retro Games and Toys at This Massive Fort Myers Event

Remember when you had to blow on a game cartridge to make it work? Or when finding that one action figure you wanted meant actually going to the store and hoping they had it in stock? The SWFL Retro Show is happening on Sunday, February 15, 2026 at the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel in Fort Myers, and if any of that sounds familiar, you’re going to love this. More than fifty vendors are bringing vintage video games, classic toys, comic books, vinyl records, and all the stuff you used to beg your parents for. Admission is five bucks, kids get in free, and parking won’t cost you anything.
