Shore Leave is an annual fan-run convention that takes place in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. 
 
It was founded by the Star Trek Association of Towson which continues to run it. The first convention took place in 1979; the con was still running as of 2025.
The con's focus was initially on Star Trek, but it has since broadened to include other science fiction media. 
==1984: Shore Leave 6==
Shore Leave 6 was held July 13-15, 1984 at the Marriot-Hunt Valley Inn. The chairperson was Geraldine Sylvester.
Guests were Mark Lenard, Walter Koenig, Howard Weinstein, and Bob Greenberger. 
Lenard and Koenig preformed a one-act play called "Actors."
The controversial flyer called Naked Doubles was distributed at this con.
It was this con where Reverend Trekwell had his first Temple of Trek Revival.
The program book contains two essays. One is by Bob Greenberger and it is about Howard Weinstein. The other is by Weinstein, and is called "My Four Years at Hunt Valley; or, Rabbits I Have Known."
