Step into a world of elegance, pageantry, and adventure at PokeFair Renaissance, a summer Pokémon celebration where Trainers gather in a setting inspired by regal splendor and timeless fantasy. Hosted at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, this special event will mark an exciting new chapter as our first-ever two-day show, held in a much larger hall than our previous events to welcome even more members of the community.

Across two full days, fans can explore a vibrant marketplace of artists and vendors, take part in beautifully themed cosplay meet-ups and photoshoots, and enjoy a wide variety of activities designed to celebrate the creativity and passion of the Pokémon fandom.

The festivities of PokeFair Renaissance will feature a grand lineup of competitions and stage programming. Trainers can test their skills in Pokémon TCG and VGC tournaments, take the spotlight in cosplay and trivia competitions, and participate in many other engaging activities happening both on and off stage throughout the weekend.

Between competitions and events, guests can relax in open/free play spaces for the Pokémon TCG and video games, discover unique creations from talented artists, and connect with fellow Trainers in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Whether you arrive dressed in royal fashion, inspired by your favorite Pokémon, or simply as the Trainer you’ve always been, PokeFair Renaissance invites you to celebrate the magic, creativity, and camaraderie of the Pokémon world in truly grand style. Join us for an unforgettable weekend this summer.
