It’s Pen Show season! If you’re a fountain pen aficionado and stationery enthusiast, attending a pen show can be great fun. Did you know we’ve got a list of all the pen shows we know about? And I’ve just updated that list today with all the 2025 dates that I can find. As always, if we’ve missed a show that you know of, please leave us a comment and we’ll add it to the compendium.
If you’ve never attended a pen show, or want to live vicariously through someone else, Mike from Inkdependence usually does a live stream of the shows he attends. Check out his 2+ hour extravaganza from this past Friday in Baltimore (stay tuned until the end and you’ll see a pink-haired ink wielding goddess!).
I had to laugh… Pen Show season is a looong one! Denver is in October. I went last year and it was barely a show. Only about 1/2 as big as pre-covid.
Makes me a little sad.
