Chicago Zine Fest

CZF2023 will be our 12th annual celebration of independent publishers in the Chicago area and beyond.
Highlights of the two-day festival include a YouTube Live panel discussion and youth reading on Friday May 19 and the
​return of our in-person exhibition day featuring interactive workshops and more than 100 exhibitors on Saturday May 20.

Chicago Zine Fest is a celebration of small press and independent publishers. CZF's mission is to showcase the culture and accessibility of zine-making through workshops, events, and an annual festival that welcomes artists and creators to share their stories, knowledge, and love of zines.
