SAVE THE DATE! South Side Zine Fest returns this summer with even more fun! This year, Zine Club Chicago is bringing a carnival vibe to our annual celebration of zine community on the South Side of Chicago.

We’re planning some amazing workshops, programming, and zine-themed carnival activities, along with community-focused tabling by local zine distros and artists, stations for zine- and button-making, and more. Free! All ages!

South Side Zine Fest + Carnival will be held at 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, August 15, 2026 at the Richard J. Daley branch of the Chicago Public Library, 3400 S. Halsted St. in Bridgeport. More info coming soon!
