About Us
SideQuest Expo has blossomed from the shared love of video games and cards that drives Josh and his team at his store, SideQuest Games.
Vendors will be set up in a Buy/Sell/Trade atmosphere across two rooms: one focused primarily on video gaming and the other dedicated to Pokémon cards. We’ll also include vendors offering items outside of these categories in both rooms.
This show remains primarily retro video game-focused but has quickly evolved into a hub for many other collectible genres. Past and current vendors have sold toys, comics, plush, fan art, TCG, posters, and even sports cards.
Please follow our event page to hear about the fun things we have planned and highlights on our sponsors, vendors, and more!
