EMPIRE STATE PEN SHOW · NOVEMBER 7–8, 2026
Pens, paper & passion.
New York City’s own pen show. A warm welcome for collectors, makers, and the simply curious.
A community, in good company
The Empire State Pen Show returns for its second year in 2026, building on our debut in 2025.
Our mission is to create a welcoming space where seasoned collectors and newcomers can explore, trade, and celebrate the art of writing. Browse vintage treasures and new boutique creations, meet the people behind the pens, and find inspiration in every conversation.
At New York Hilton Midtown, the show brings our shared passion into the heart of Manhattan. Come for a favorite pen; leave with discoveries and friendships.
