The Baltimore Pen Show 2026 is booked and ready to go! The show starts Friday, March 6th, and runs through Sunday, March 8th. It will be three full days of buying, selling, and trading the world’s greatest (new and old) fountain pens, ballpoints, and anything else that writes. We will have a house full of modern and vintage dealers.

This year’s show will host multiple seminars ranging from pen history to calligraphy classes. While all three days will be full of dealers, we will try something new in the evenings.

Browse 210+ tables of writing instruments and accessories with vendors from across the United States and distributors representing brands from around the world.

Pen repair and nib grinding will be offered all weekend long!

  • Bottled Fountain Pen Ink

    Choose bottled fountain pen ink if you want the widest color selection and a more refillable writing experience. Bottled ink works with compatible fountain pens using a converter, piston filling system, or other bottle-fill mechanism.

  • Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges

    Choose ink cartridges if you want a simple, convenient refill option with less setup and easier travel. Cartridges are a good choice for everyday writing, school, work, and anyone who wants a faster refill process.

  • Flushing your fountain pen regularly—

    especially when changing ink colors, every six weeks, or before storing the pen—is essential to prevent ink residue buildup, muddy color mixing, and clogged feeds that can lead to scratchy or inconsistent writing.
