Today’s the first full day of PulpFest 2026. I will be posting photos from PulpFest to ThePulp.Net’s Instagram feed throughout the day, so check back if there aren’t too many images already showing below.
Dealers set up their tables Wednesday evening at PulpFest 2026.
Wednesday night kicked things off with a terrific presentation by Edgar Rice Burroughs expert Henry G. Franke III and artist Mark Wheatley celebrating the centeneary of paperback cover artist Robert K. Abbett.
Today, the dealers’ rom is open for early-bird shopping, while dealers continue to set up.
Things really get started with a full slate of programming this evening, starting at 6:55 p.m. with PulpFest committee chair Jack Cullers‘ welcome.
Watch below for photographs and captions from Wednesday and Thursday’s events. The images appear shortly after they have been posted, so check back for updates throughout the day.
Please feel free to comment at the bottom of this post, or like or share the images on Instagram or other social media. I’m using the hashtag #pulpfest2026 on my photos from the convention; I encourage you to do the same.
