Retro Video Game Expo II
Retro Video Game Expo II – Raleigh’s Retro Floor Just Got Bigger
The carts are dusted off. The controllers are plugged in.
Retro Video Game Expo II lands at Triangle Town Center for a full weekend. More vendors, more hardware, more of the hunting, playing, and trading that made Edition I feel like something Raleigh had been waiting for. If you stopped chasing a cartridge you gave up on years ago (but never really forgot about) or just need a reason to put real hardware in your hands again, this is your weekend.
📅 November 14-15, 2026 | 10AM – 5PM

🔥 Event Highlights 🔥
🛒 Retro Marketplace
Tables of consoles, cartridges, discs, accessories, imports, and rare finds spanning NES through PS2 and beyond. Loose carts, CIB, JP imports, boxed hardware – every table is a different checkpoint in gaming history. The cartridge you’ve been hunting is probably on one of these tables. Dig in.
🎮 Console Free-Play Zones – Both Days
Real hardware. Real controllers. From N64 and Super Nintendo to PlayStation and GameCube – drop in, grab a seat, and play all day. No quarters. No timers. Just the games that built you, running on the machines they were built for.
🛍️ Vendor Tables Open to the Community
