The California Extreme Show is held in San Jose usually during the month of August. It is by far the largest (in terms of the number of machines to play) on the west coast. There are a huge variety of games at this show all most all are set on free play. Some are for sale, some are not, but they are there for your enjoyment. Our first trip to California Extreme was in 2004. We had a great time taking many pictures, playing many games, and making a presentation on the History of the Coin-op Mechanical Baseball Games.
Pacific Pinball Expo For the last five years Pacific Pinball Museum has sponsored this Pinball Expo. This exceptional show has more pinball machines set for free play than any other show anywhere! The games range in date from the early historical, all mechanical type games, all the way up to the newest and greatest electronic games. The show has matured well in five years, attracting a variety of vendors as well as many distinguished speakers. If you can only attend one show this year it should be this one. Held in San Rafel’s Civic Center Auditorium, in the fall, this Show is absolutely THE BEST pinball show anywhere bar none! This is one of the few shows that incorporate the Art, Science and History of Pinball into a really fun experience!
Pin a Go Go This yearly pinball show raises money for the charitable organization Boys and Girls Club. Held in Dixon, California, just south west of Sacramento, This show is almost exclusively devoted to Pinball Games. Games for sale, Games to Play, and Games to view (2005 had an incredible collection of wedge heads both Add-a-ball and 5 ball replay machines, for viewing and playing!) We were able to play both versions side by side as well as photograph both versions. This was truly a remarkable experience! We, being true pinball people, decided this was the very best Pinball Show in California, even on the West Coast, and perhaps in the Western United States!
