With thanks to our 2026 sponsors.
YOUR PEOPLE. YOUR KIND OF WEEKEND.
A little ink. A lot to discover.
From your very first fountain pen to the piece you’ve been searching for, there’s a place for you here.
Meet makers and collectors, discover pens and stationery, and share the joy of writing in the heart of Manhattan. Now in our second year, the Empire State Pen Show brings our community together for two days of discovery.
From colorful pen trays to conversations at the tables, our first show brought the writing community together in Manhattan. Explore these moments from the 2025 Empire State Pen Show.
