What is Sports Cards Fest?
The Sports Cards Fest has been founded to address a need: to create more card conventions in Quebec while offering an accessible and free alternative for visitors. Our mission is to provide a dynamic, friendly, and inclusive event filled with positive energy. Free admission encourages family participation and inspires the next generation of collectors. We are committed to bringing together vendors who share our values and showcasing an exceptional variety of collectibles. Whether you're a passionate card collector or simply curious, the Sports Cards Fest is the perfect place to meet other collectors, have an unforgettable experience, expand your knowledge, and discover unique and fascinating pieces. Since December 2025, a new management team has taken the reins of the Sports Cards Fest, committed to continuing this vision and building upon the solid foundations established by its founders. Our goal remains the same: to offer collectors, families, and enthusiasts a high-quality event, accessible to all, where the hobby community can gather in a welcoming and respectful environment. We firmly believe in the importance of growing the hobby in Quebec by increasing opportunities for collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts from all walks of life to connect. While bringing new ideas and evolving the event, we are committed to preserving the values that have contributed to the success of Sports Cards Fest: accessibility, diversity, passion, and community spirit. Our mission is to continue making Sports Cards Fest a must-attend event for the hobby in Quebec, offering an ever-enriching experience for visitors and exhibitors, while remaining true to the spirit that guided its creation.
