SALT LAKE CITY — The opening dates for the next Hearties Family Reunion were announced last week.
The Hearties Family Reunion — a convention where fans of “When Calls the Heart” gather together — will run from Oct. 4 to Oct. 6.
“When Calls the Heart” showrunner Brian Bird said in a tweet that the event will be “a celebration” of “When Calls the Heart” and “When Hope Calls,” the spinoff to the Hallmark Channel show.

More details for the event will be released at a later time, according to the HFR website, which will be relaunched soon.
Flashback: Though the Hearties Family Reunion began three years ago, this will be the fifth celebration. In the past, the Hearties Family Reunion event has included Q&A sessions with the cast and crew, as well as a chance for fans of the show to gather and celebrate the Hallmark shows.
Why it matters: The HFR event will happen months after “When Calls the Heart” star Lori Loughlin was cut from the show over the college admissions scandal. “When Calls the Heart” took a brief hiatus to deal with creative changes to the show.
