Shore Leave Con 47

Shore Leave is a fan-run convention held each summer to celebrate all things geeky and nerdy. We are located in Lancaster, PA.

The following are some of the activities offered at Shore Leave:

Celebrity Guests: The convention, initially a Star Trek event, has evolved into a celebration of all forms of sci-fi/fantasy and brings in guests from popular TV shows and movies. Your membership also gets you a free autograph with our two signing guests each day (Sat & Sun).

Fest With Our Guests: On Friday night of the convention, we hold a dinner and mix-and-mingle event that allows you to hob knob with our Celebrities.
