Chicago Zine Fest is a celebration of small press and independent publishers, with an annual festival of workshops and the big expo day where 100+ zinesters sell and trade their zines. This is a great event to immerse yourself in works by local artists, writers, and creatives.

CZF’s Zine Exhibition Day returns to Plumbers Union Hall (1340 W. Washington) on Saturday, May 20; it’s free to attend and runs from 11 AM to 6 PM.
