The fun doesn’t stop when the main show hours end! Workshops continue after hours, giving you even more opportunities to learn and connect. Don’t forget to experience the excitement of Pen Shows After Dark at the annual Baltimore/Washington International Pen Show! Enjoy not one, but two unforgettable after-hours events: one dedicated to vintage pens and another celebrating modern writing instruments and accessories. These after-dark events are the perfect place to connect with new friends who share your passion for pens. Please note that all workshops, seminars, and after-hours events have limited capacity due to room occupancy, so we highly recommend registering for your desired events as soon as possible to secure your spot and avoid disappointment.
To make your experience even smoother, we strongly encourage you to purchase your admittance tickets online in advance—this way, you can skip the wait at the door and dive straight into the fun.
