The Texas Pinball Festival is a great show. I've gone the last two years and had a blast each time. Last year my youngest scored second in the youth pinball tourney. The show has a good party feel to it as they bring in a DJ at night to get the crowd dancing.
The three main shows I attend here in the US are the Expo, Allentown and Texas. All three are quite different which makes it worth going to all three. Expo is a "convention" type atmosphere, Allentown is a "flea market" type atmosphere where you can strike a good deal or two, Texas is as previously mentioned a "party" type atmosphere where the whole family can enjoy the show even if some of the members are not pinheads.
