Howard Days 2024 will take place on Friday & Saturday, June 7th and 8th at the Robert E. Howard Museum in Cross Plains, Texas.

In early 1990s – Project Pride decided that there should be Robert E Howard Remembrance Day every year. This turned into what is now the multi-day Howard Days event.

Howard Days traditionally has happened every year on the second full weekend in June (closest to June 11th) but for 2023 Howard Days is was on April 28-29, 2023. Project Pride pulls out all the stops in welcoming folks. Sponsored by Project Pride and the Robert E. Howard Foundation, with help from the members of the Robert E. Howard United Press Association (REHupa), it is a two-day extravaganza of tours, panels, auctions, banquets, speeches, readings, rare collectibles and – most importantly of all – great Howardian fellowship.

For fans of Ol’ Two-Gun Bob Howard, it is a unique get-together, unlike any other fan “convention”. In a sense, it’s more like a friendly family reunion of sorts. All the activities at Howard Days, with one exception, take place at no cost. The Museum is open to all, the tours of the house and grounds are free (as is the parking!) and the adjacent Alla Ray Morris Pavilion is available for all to enjoy a respite from the hot Texas sun while enjoying a cool soft drink or water.

The only real fee for the whole weekend is for the Friday night Celebration Banquet, held at the Baptist Church. Registration for this is required, as seats are limited at the Banquet. The fee not only pays for the excellent dinner there, but also helps to pay for cool drinks, Friday morning doughnuts, coffee, and a Hot Dog Lunch.
