The Commonwealth Pen Show is back for 2024 and in a new location in Somerville, Massachusetts! Our new location is at The Center for the Arts at the Armory (Somerville Armory, 191 Highland Avenue).

The venue is located a 10-minute walk from  the MBTA Green Line (E Line) stop at Magoun Square or a 15-minute walk from the Red Line Davis Square stop. MBTA buses, Route 88 and Route 90, can stop nearby at the Highland Avenue at Lowell Street stop. A short walking distance from the Armory, at 75 Belmont Street, is a parking lot with free parking on Saturday and Sunday.

There is also, on the premises, ROOTED CAFE. Open on Saturday from 9.00 am - 7.30 pm and on Sunday from 9.00 am - 5.00 pm.

More information on the show will be available soon.

SAVE THE DATE!! 

The 2024 Commonwealth Pen Show will take place on September 14 and 15, 2024.

We have an exciting NEW venue but it’s still in Somerville, Ma. 

 We will send out information regarding the venue as well as a hotel list for those needing accommodation later this fall.

 Thanks,

Jim, Cheryl, and David

Hello everyone,
 

We are writing to inform you that unfortunately the 2023 Commonwealth Pen Show on September 16 and 17 has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. Our hotel is having severe staffing issues and absolutely refuses to host our show. Due to the short amount of time it will be impossible for us to reschedule our 2023 show. 

We are already working to find a new venue for September 2024.

Our regards, 
Jim and Cheryl Baer
