2023 San Francisco Zine Fest (City View at Metreon)

The San Francisco Zine Fest is a free, annual celebration of small-press publishing from zines and comics to art books and beyond.

Exhibitors come from all over the world, and while the focus is on zines, all walks of DIY life are represented — comics, arts and crafts, literary presses, and more.

22nd Annual San Francisco Zine Fest
Sunday, September 3, 2023 | 11 am to 5 pm
City View at Metreon, 135 4th St #4000, SF

Support zine creators from the Bay Area and beyond by purchasing their zines. If you make zines or art, bring them to offer as trade! Many vendors take electronic payment through Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, etc and some take credit/debit cards.

• A kid-friendly section
• Screenprinting
