RetroMania returns Saturday

Nov 3, 2026 | 9:52 AM

Pop culture enthusiasts, gamers, collectors and others have a chance to gather for a day of nostalgia and fun. 

Vernon Comic Con will host its RetroMania at the recreation centre Saturday.

“With something for everyone, RetroMania offers visitors the opportunity to rediscover the toys, games, books, coins, cards, clothing, technology and collectibles that helped define generations,” organizers said in a release.

“Whether you’re a longtime collector, a gaming enthusiast, or simply looking for something fun to do with the family, RetroMania offers a little something for every generation.”

RetroMania will feature an arcade area, a classic computer corner for people to see how the technology has improved over the years, and can enter for a chance to win a classic Macintosh computer. There will also be vendors selling a wide selection of vintage toys, collectibles, comics, clothing, video games and consoles, VHS’s and DVD’s, vinyl records and more, as well as a dedicated card room for people to trade or play games.
