Looking ahead to pen-related events in Portland in 2024:
- July 12-14, 2024: Pacific Northwest Pen Show (PNWPenShow.com) – while unaffiliated with the PDX Pen club or the historical Pen Round-Up, this new show that debuted in 2023 is back again for 2024! Registration is up for earlybird pricing.
- Sept 2024: Pelikan Hub – This is a worldwide event that promotes fountain pen use – keep an eye out for notices at https://www.pelikan-hubs.com/ – hopefully Pelikan chooses to continue this fabulous event in 2024. Portland has one of the largest hubs in the country!
- Nov 30 – Dec 1, 2024: Pen Bazaar – The weekend after Thanksgiving at the Lucky Lab Beer Hall. Normally the weekend after Thanksgiving. A great way to get your Holiday shopping turbocharged for the fountain pen lover in your life, or just socialize if you can’t normally make our in-person meetings!
