Attendee Registration

We highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. Tickets are available directly at SideQuest Games in Portland, Oregon. Historically, the ticket line to the SideQuest Expo wrapped around the building, and we expect the same this year.

Year 4 of SideQuest Expo! On August 8th, 2026, we’ll have a full day of video games, TCG, and other collectibles. Vendors will be set up in a Buy/Sell/Trade atmosphere across two rooms: one primarily focused 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.

Volunteers Wanted!

We are in need of 8-10 volunteers this year. Volunteers will assist with multiple tasks including setup and teardown of tablecloths, helping with line management, and check-in. All volunteers will get free passes for themselves and one other person for the weekend. Free parking at the hotel is included. Lunch will be provided.

If you or someone you know may want to volunteer for a shift, please send an email to Nicole at volunteers@sidequestexpo.com.

Vendor registration is open for 2026! Visit the Vendor Registration page for more info.
