Los Angeles Zine Fest

Southern California’s largest festival dedicated to showcasing zines, DIY print culture, and independent publishing is back for a one-day festival featuring hundreds of vendors, exciting programming, and community!

L.A. Zine Fest will be taking over the Angel City Derby Club in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, November 7 for a free, all day event hosting 350+ zine vendors, independent bookstores, local community groups, hands-on workshops, and thought-provoking panels.

In its thirteenth year, L.A. Zine Fest continues to draw national attention for its diverse zine marketplace, featuring hundreds of independent artists and creatives who showcase small-batch publishing, DIY culture, and the power of grassroots media to build solidarity, foster community, promote freedom of speech and self-expression, and encourage the circulation of ideas through in-person exchanges. The fest promotes zine culture through its annual festival and monthly workshops, fostering community and enriching the lives of artists and public alike. Through its current programming, participants have opportunities to share personal work, build confidence, and engage in collaborative, paper-based creative practices. People of all ages and backgrounds learn the history and purpose of zine culture through these offerings, where individuality and the exercise of First Amendment rights are encouraged and celebrated.
