Boston will be the world's center of philately for eight days in 2026, as the twelfth international philatelic exhibition of the United States gathers at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC). To be held during Memorial Day week (May 23-30,2026) in the Seaport section of the city, Boston 2026 World Expo will be a significant part of the country's 250th anniversary festivities.

Some things happening at the show to get excited about…
