Calling all do-it-yourself publishers! This Saturday and Sunday from 11am until 6pm, the annual Zine Fest conference will be held at the County Fair Building in the park at 9th Avenue and Lincoln Boulevard.
San Francisco Zine Fest is a free, annual two-day show for independent and underground publishers. The festival is full of small press, zines, comics and other do-it-yourselfers who are passionate about their subjects. While the focus is on zines, all walks of DIY life are represented — comics, arts and crafts, literary presses, and more.
According to the Zine Fest website, there will be more than 100 small press and DIY exhibitors, special guests, hands-on workshops, and informative panels. So no matter what you’re into, you’re sure to find a zine creator at the show that feels your passion.
This year’s conference includes two new features – a dedicated Reading Room, with dozens of small-press titles from Zine Fest exhibitors and other creators, and the first ever on-site art show, Punk Tabloid, a retrospective of three seminal Bay Area publications: Search & Destroy, Damage and Another Room Magazine. These massive newsprint broadsheets – chronicles of the vibrant punk scene of the late 70s and early 80s – showcase the roots of the modern smallpress culture that the Zine Fest annually celebrates.
