CZF 2025: we want your feedback

We had a great time at the 14th Chicago Zine Fest yesterday and we hope you did too. We’d love your feedback if you have a moment to tell us how your experience was. We are always looking to improve for next year!! What’d you think of the new venue?

Save the date for more fun events

There’s lots of excellent zine events coming up in the next six weeks in Chicago—mark your calendars!

Next weekend, there’ll be two zine events on the same day! Saturday July 26th will be the very first South Side Zine Event, courtesy of our pals at Zine Club Chicago, and the New Expressions Art Festival, an event featuring new and emerging teen and adult artists. Use the red line to check out both!

On Saturday August 9th is the first Pilsen Zine Fest. We don’t know anything about this event but we’re looking forward to seeing it come together!

Finally, our friends at Zine Mercado will be celebrating their tenth anniversary on Sunday August 31st! You won’t want to miss out!
