Opening Saturday, July 26th, from 11AM - 4PM
We’re SO EXCITED to announce our brand-new event: South Side Zine Fest! Our celebration of self-publishing with Zine Camp vibes will be held 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, July 26, 2025 at the Richard J. Daley Branch of the @chicagopubliclibrary, 3400 S. Halsted St. in Bridgeport. Free!
We’re expanding our Zine Camp hijinks to include tabling by local zinemakers and collectives. We’ll be prioritizing self-publishers with strong ties to the South Side of Chicago. Programming will include a panel discussion with local zinemakers, a zinemaking workshop, opportunities for folks of all ages to create and swap zines, and more.
Want to table at South Side Zine Fest? The application period will be open 11 a.m. CT Monday, May 19 through 11 p.m. CT Sunday, May 25. We’ll post the application link and more information about tabling on Monday, May 19 here and on zineclubchicago.com (link in bio)
South Side Zine Fest is presented by Zine Club Chicago. Jamie Kadas (@curvygirlcomics) and Cynthia E. Hanifin @exilefromguyville (Zine Club Chicago producer), both native South Siders, are the fest’s volunteer co-organizers. This free community event is made possible by a grant from the Richard J. Daley Branch of the Chicago Public Library and individual donations from Zine Club Chicago members.
