Texas Pinball Festival 2026 - Our First Convention
Texas Pinball Festival 2026 - Our First Convention
We headed over to TPF 2026 @texaspinballfestival in Frisco Texas. We played Pokemon Pinball, Beetlejuice Pinball, Dune, Winchester, Yukon Yeti, and all the P3 games. While there we got to meet up with so many companies we've been admiring from afar including: @TurnerPinball @SpookyPinball @sternpinballinc @multimorphic and @americanpinball. We also had the opportunity to meet up with a lot of other Pinball content creators (or pinfluencers as we like to call them).
Kineticist’s take
First-time convention attendees celebrate TPF 2026, highlight Pokémon and Yukon Yeti, praise community friendliness.
