We want to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out and supported The South Mississippi Toy Fest this past weekend!
To our vendors, guests, collectors, cosplayers, families, friends, and everyone who helped behind the scenes — you are what makes this event possible. Seeing everyone come together, catch up with old friends, make new ones, and share their love of toys and collecting is exactly why we do this.
We truly appreciate every person who walked through the doors, shared our posts, told a friend, set up a table, volunteered their time, or helped make the show happen.
We'll see you February 27th!

Attention Attendees!!!!!
This post is for you if attending the SMTF on Sept 26, 2026. 9am-5pm

First off pricing.
Early bird 9am-10am
cash $10 card $12
General Admission 10am-5pm
Cash $5 Card $7
Atm will be on site by the ticket booth

Early Birds attendees!

We have changed up how early bird works. Time is still 9am-10am. If you purchased online tickets please have your receipts so the venue can look you up on the list to get your ticket in its designated line. Online tickets do not mean you get to go first into the show. It just guarantees you a ticket to the show. If you arrive before 9am you will be allowed into the lobby area only after you purchase your ticket or have been checked off the list for online tickets or will call tickets. This is so you can have access to concessions, restrooms, some vendors and be able to be in the air conditioning. We know its hot. You will not be able to enter the main hall until 9am.
Your entrance has also changed. You have your own entrance on the south side of the building. If you are facing the convention center that entrance is to the right side. There will be signs up to direct you. There is also a parking lot to the lake walk that is beside that entrance. That is open for you to use so you are close to the entrance if you want to use it. These changes have been made so you are not in line waiting for a ticket for a long period of time.

General admissions attendees!!!!!
Your entrance has not changed. It is still the main front doors. If you arrive to the show before 10am and purchase a General Admission ticket then you can not enter the show till 10am. You are welcome to wait in the inside designated area until 10am.

All Attendees!!!
Cosplay is very welcomed at our show. We love to see all the creativity that comes with it. We have a few things for photo ops that will be set up and the fan groups will also have props and backdrops at their booths. There is also a beautiful lake and walking area for photo shoots that is located behind the convention center.

What we do not welcome is any type of thievery, shop lifting or destruction of property. We have a 0 tolerance policy. You will be arrested. Charges will be pressed. You will be banned from the SMTF.

Attendees are not allowed to sell to other attendees on the convention property. You will be asked to leave if you are caught. Parking lot will be patrolled. This is not fair to the vendors who paid for a booth. You can trade or sell to vendors only.

Thank you for the continued support of the SMTF. We continue to grow every show and learn things we need to change. We make those changes to make the show even better and an even better experience for you.

See you at the show!!!
