Collect-A-Con Los Angeles, Dec 20 at the Convention Center

Collect-A-Con is a traveling collectibles convention, and on Sunday, December 20, 2026, it sets up at the Los Angeles Convention Center. If you collect trading cards, toys, comics or anything else people hunt for, a day on a convention floor is the fastest way to browse hundreds of tables in one place.

When: Sunday, December 20, 2026 Where: Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Tickets: Sold through Ticketmaster (link below)

What to expect

Conventions like this are built around the dealer floor. Vendors lay out cases of cards, figures and memorabilia, and the real fun is wandering the aisles, comparing prices and chatting with people who know their stuff. Expect a mix of seasoned collectors and first-timers picking up something for a gift.

The Ticketmaster listing is thin on specifics, so we are not going to guess at guest lineups, vendor counts or entry hours. Check the ticket page and the organizer's own channels closer to the date for the schedule. This session also sits right next to a Saturday date at the same venue, so if you want to make a weekend of it, look at the December 19 listing too.

Planning your day

Bring a bag or backpack you do not mind carrying, because the haul adds up quickly. Cash and a payment app both help when a dealer's card reader acts up. A list of what you are hunting for keeps you from wandering for hours, and an early arrival means better selection and shorter lines.

Looking for things to do in Los Angeles in the slow stretch between the holidays? A collectibles show makes a good indoor option, especially for families with kids who have a favorite game or character. It is also an easy fit if you are scanning for LA events this weekend and want something that fills a full day.

Getting there

The Convention Center sits on South Figueroa Street at the edge of downtown, close to the Metro A and E Lines at Pico Station. Driving is possible, but event-day parking around the venue fills up and costs more, so transit or a rideshare drop-off is the easier route. Leave extra time on a weekend near the arena district.

Tickets and current pricing are on the Ticketmaster page. We have not seen a published price, so check there before you plan your budget.
