CARDBOARD COVE

Cardboard Cove is the ultimate destination for trading card fans and anime enthusiasts alike. Experience a weekend packed with TCG vendors, celebrity voice-over guests, massive hourly giveaways, and unforgettable on-stage games and activities.

This year’s featured guests include Stuart Zagnit (Professor Oak from the original Pokémon series), Tiffany Vollmer (Bulma from the Dragon Ball franchise), Stephanie Nadolny (Kid Goku & Gohan from Dragon Ball), and Marc Thompson (the voice of Gengar and many others). These iconic voices will take the stage for panels, interactive games, and might even rip some packs with attendees!

Guests will join the fun by selecting a Red, Blue, or Green Team when purchasing tickets. Teams are primarily for fun and community spirit, but expect some giveaways and competitions to be team-based—pitting color against color in exciting showdowns (like the N64 Pokemon Stadium tournament).

Immersive experiences await throughout the venue, including a real-life Magikarp salesman, a PokéStore, a Pokémon Gym, in-character staff, stunning backdrops and murals, and themed scavenger hunts like “Catch ’Em All” and “Summon Shenron.” Whether you come to collect, compete, or just take it all in, Cardboard Cove promises an unforgettable adventure for fans of all ages.
