2026 MusicOn+ InterArts Festival (Open Call Now Live)

The best Saturday card show in the Boston area has fully expanded to 10,000+ sq. ft. to become the largest in the area. We are bringing in all of your favorite card slingers, about 80 vendors in total from all around New England now with over 900 feet of table space. Roughly 500 ft. of space is sports and 400 ft. is dedicated to Pokemon and other TCG's. We feature the hottest sports stars to One Piece &amp; Marvel at all different price points. Our wide variety of vendors have a little bit to satisfy the needs of just about any collector on any budget, from low to very high end.&nbsp;I'm sure some vendors will have Topps Chrome football for sale until they last. 
The cost to enter is $5 at the door, kids 12 and under are free (those 15 and under must be accompanied by a guardian). The fun begins around 8:30 AM at the Crowne Plaza Woburn hotel with newly extended hours until 2:00. Door prizes this month are all about Wrestlemania taking place later that night and all weekend. We have the Saturday night main event contenders as well as Sunday's. The Randy Orton is a stellar card as a gold wave /10, Roman Reigns is /25, Cody Rhodes in action is a Prizm PSA 10 and in the big Sunday event, we have a CM Punk auto up for grabs! For the Pokemon fans, we have one Perfect Order ETB to give away at each prize hour. Door prizes are always given away in two blocks at 10 AM and 12 PM.
The best parking is in the back of the hotel (parallel to I-95) to enter the ballroom from the rear entrance. Contact us if you have any questions. There is currently zero room for new vendors and our waitlist is full. Tickets can be purchased in advance here through OnTreasure to "skip the line". Cash/credit cards/Venmo also accepted at the door. See you soon!

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
