The Texas Pinball Festival started in 2001 in Arlington as “Pinarama”, not much more than a few collectors and hobbyists getting together to show off their games. In 2007, we moved the show to a Holiday Inn in Irving and held the show in October. Aligning the show with Halloween lent itself to a lot of fun with costume parties. It quickly grew bigger. In 2007, we moved the show to March and to the 15,000+ square foot ball room of the Grapevine Hilton and we have been there ever since. Each year the show has gotten bigger and better and we want the trend to continue!
