PulpFest dealer Martin Grams hosts the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention. It celebrates movie classics, old-time radio and television, and more. Hollywood celebrities sign autographs and pose for photos. This year’s stars include Vicki Lawrence, Michael Horse from Twin Peaks, and Kristy McNichol from Family. More celebrities will be announced.
The movie room features rare films and TV shows. The convention also features first-class presentations on a wide range of popular culture. Check out the show’s “seminars” page to get a taste of what’s in store at the 2025 celebration. There’s also an annual charity auction with 100 percent of the money raised going to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The dealers’ room at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention features over 200 vendor tables with merchandise ranging from books, magazines, photographs, movie posters, lobby cards, collectibles, toys, action figures, comic books, arts and crafts, tee shirts, DVDs, and much more. Even if you have no interest in meeting Hollywood celebrities or watching a classic movie in the screening room, the variety of merchandise at this event is worth the trip.
The Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention was founded in 2006 to bring celebrities and their fans together for a three-day weekend. The 2025 convention will be September 18 – 20. It’s at the Sheraton Baltimore North Hotel in Towson, Maryland. For more information about the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention, call or text 443-286-6821.
