Some of the larger pen-related events in Portland:
- July 8-9, 2023: Pacific Northwest Pen Show (PNWPenShow.com) – while unaffiliated with the PDX Pen club or the historical Pen Round-Up, this is a new show that is making its debut in 2023. We are cheering them on and looking forward to the fabulous vendors and nibmeisters they plan to entice to town. REGISTER NOW!
- Sept 22, 2023: Pelikan Hub – Registration has closed to be an official participant of the Hub. We will see if there is space for Pen Club members to attend also, stay tuned (another great reason to join us, you get all the news). This is a free, worldwide event that promotes fountain pen use and has wonderful ink sampling for all!
- Nov: Pen Bazaar – The Saturday after Thanksgiving at the Lucky Lab Beer Hall. No plans to change this event in 2023 – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Great way to get your Holiday shopping turbocharged for the fountain pen lover in your life.
