Original Event Description:
_Time for the annual SFZF Zine Picnic!⚡Come hang with us, make zines, make art, eat the snacks provided and enjoy the outdoors in (usually) sunny Downtown SF / SOMA. 🌞🐜🌿Just two blocks from Powell St BART. Flyer by our rad exhibitor and intern Henry Wu @henrywuart! Items to bring: mask 😷, picnic blanket, snacks to share, copies of your zines, zines or art in-progress, art supplies. Exact location will be determined day-of depending on conditions in the park, so we’re most likely to be at any of the 3 locations in the map on slide 2 — and no matter what, we’ll have signage and zine supplies that make it easy to find us! #sfzf2026 #zines #zinefest [Image description: Slide 1 – Hand-drawn illustration of a picnic scene with an open zine and cup of art supplies on a red-and-white checkered picnic blanket on grass.
