WILMINGTON, N.C. -- Fans from all around the world traveled to the Port City over the weekend to return to “One Tree Hill.”

The show ran from 2003 to 2012 and was filmed in Wilmington. Eye-Con’s Convention is a four-day long event that allows loyal fans to meet some of the show’s biggest stars like Chad Michael Murray and James Lafferty. Fans we spoke with said it’s an experience that they’ll never forget.

“The show means a lot to me. Growing up, it taught me a lot of lessons and I just think it was really cool to finally meet them in person,” said Michelle Filiciano. 

More than two thousand people were in attendance at this year’s convention.
