Milwaukee Zine Fest happens all day from 10:30am to 4:30pm at MPL Central!
Pop by whenever is best for you.
Milwaukee Zine Fest turns 15 this year! To celebrate we'll be bigger and better than ever with two floors of vendors, a run-up event, and an after party.
Check out the full schedule below: everything is 100% free and open to the public.
On April 16th, swing by The Bindery for Slow Mörn, a monthly free, casual gathering hosted by our building-mates, bearbear.
Bring zines to share or zines to work on with others. It's a chance to exchange creativity and space in the run-up to the main event!
4/16, 10am to noon. Click above for details.
Our friends at Lion's Tooth Bookstore will host a post-fest celebration featuring a special display of The Museum of the Unintentional by Justine Kern.
In honor of MZF, a one-of-a-kind zine will serve as program and companion during your unique visit to Justin's "uncollection," and Lion's Tooth itself!
4/22, 4-7pm. Click above for details.

SWAP & SHARE
Part of zine community ethos involves sharing, trading, and swapping. MZF encourages this by having a swap table set up. Stop by to leave a zine and take a zine in order to share with others.
This is *not* a "free zine" table and and we ask the community to respect this. In order to take a zine, you need to leave one in its place.
Suggested zine value of $1 to $5 only, to help keep things feelin' fair :)
