CZF 2024
#CZF2024 will be our 13th annual celebration of independent publishers in the Chicago area and beyond.
The exhibition day for Chicago Zine Fest 2024 will take place Saturday October 5 (11 am-6 pm) at the Columbia College Student Center (754 S Wabash Ave).
All events during CZF weekend are always FREE and open to the public! Applications for tablers will be open from Sunday April 14 to Saturday April 27th. Find more information about the application and details about the application process.
Stay tuned for additional details about workshops and other events!
Accessibility Information
The Student Center meets all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).
There is no dedicated parking for the Columbia Student Center building. The closest parking lot is the building next door, named 7th Street Garage Parking, at 710 S Wabash Ave.
COVID considerations: Our venue does not permit requiring masks, but we will be providing masks to everyone who attends and encouraging wearing masks. Other COVID-mitigation strategies include renting multiple air purifiers, giving each zinester their own table to ensure adequate spacing, and refunding registration fees for any tabler who feels ill at the time of the fest. The fifth floor has a small outdoor balcony where tablers and attendees may feel more comfortable eating or taking breaks.
We'll be adding additional information as we have it. We encourage your questions and suggestions at chicagozinefest@gmail.com.
