Comics and graphic novels for collectors and casual readers alike
Toys, figures, and collectibles that scream 80s, 90s, and early 2000s
Arts and crafts pieces with a punk, nerdy, and nostalgic flair

To crank things up even more, the party syncs with Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar’s screening of "40 Years Of F***** Up: A Film By NOFX." In honor of the punk legends, the market will feature punk trivia and a playlist of punk music videos spanning multiple generations, blasting through the space while you shop.

Think of it as a mashup of record fair, comic swap, toy convention, and DIY art show, with a soundtrack powered by decades of punk attitude. Whether you are hunting for a grail VHS, flipping through vinyl, or just soaking up the atmosphere, this event is perfect for collectors, music nerds, and anyone who misses the days of rewinding tapes and reading liner notes.

Grab some friends, throw on your favorite band tee, and clear some space on your shelves: The Highball Retro Market is primed to send you home with new treasures and a serious hit of nostalgia.
