Hawaii’s Pop-Culture Expo Returns to Pearlridge Center!

Get ready, Hawaiʻi! A celebration of fandom, creativity and all things pop culture is coming to Pearlridge Center on October 24 and 25, 2026.

This free, family-friendly event is open to the public and will bring together more than 50 vendors across both sides of the mall—the Mauka and Wai Makai wings. Visitors can browse a wide variety of collectibles, artwork, fandom merchandise and unique creations while supporting local artists and small businesses.

Fans can also expect to see cosplayers, local artists and vendors throughout the weekend, creating opportunities to meet fellow fans, take photos and discover something new. From comics and anime to movies, television, gaming, collectibles and more, the event is designed as a true celebration of all fandoms.

Whether you are a longtime collector, a passionate cosplayer, an artist, or simply someone who enjoys pop culture, there will be something to explore. The event continues the tradition of bringing Hawaiʻi’s pop-culture community together at Pearlridge, where previous expos have featured vendors and artists on both sides of the mall and welcomed fans of all ages.

Best of all, admission is completely FREE! Mark your calendar for October 24–25, 2026, and come celebrate the fandoms you love with friends, family and fellow fans from across Hawaiʻi.

So whether you collect:

  • Comics
  • Pokémon cards
  • Sports cards
  • Action figures
  • Hotwheels
  • Funko Pops
  • Anime collectibles
  • Retro games
  • Godzilla
  • Star Wars
  • Pop culture memorabilia

…you’ll find it at the Pop-culture expo…we plan to be bigger than ever.

Cosplayers roam the halls like heroes from another dimension. Artists showcase original creations inspired by the worlds we grew up loving. Vendors from across Hawaii and beyond bring impossible-to-find treasures to the islands for one unforgettable weekend.

SEE YOU AT THE POP-CULTURE EXPO! STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES!

Sorry Hawaii! But the roadwork continues on Dillingham blvd outside the Dillingham trade center. Ever since they began working on the section outside our store, traffic congestion has increased. We understand how the rail construction has made the commute a bit hard during the weekdays to get to our store. This is why we made the decision to only open the store one day a week. Special appointments are still available during the weekdays – call us at 808-888-2189 to schedule. Availability is limited so call us in advance to set up your visit.

However – our Pearlridge Kiosk location at the Pearlridge center is open daily during mall hours and is still filled with a good selection of collectibles to choose from! We have a wide selection of comics, sportscards, Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, Hotwheels, Godzilla, Funkos and more! Check us out!
