Want to get involved with South Side Zine Fest? We’re looking for volunteers to help out on the day of the event!

We’ll need assistance with the following tasks: Set-up, breakdown, greeting fest attendees/answering questions, staffing zinemaking stations, and covering exhibitors’ tables so they can take breaks.

If you’d like to sign up for a one- or two-hour volunteer shift sometime between 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on fest day in exchange for our gratitude and a fun zine grab bag, please email us at zineclubchicago.com

The inaugural South Side Zine Fest will be held 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, July 26 at the Richard J. Daley branch of the Chicago Public Library, 3400 S. Halsted St. in Bridgeport. Free!
