Please join us for ZINE PROM on Thursday June 5th!! ✨️ We'll be dancing, eating, flaunting, and making zines at Marz Brewing at 3630 S Iron St in Chicago. 💃 ✂️ We'll see you in McKinley Park!

Suggested donation: $5-$10 to keep Chicago Zine Fest flourishing! Come in your sparkling finest or come as you are. We'll be glad to have you!

We are excited to announce our official poster artwork for CZF 2025 created by Kelly Wang! Kelly perfectly captures the colorful clutter and chaos of a zinester’s workspace. Keep your eyes peeled for Zinehead—our official mascot for this year’s fest.

Kelly Wang is an award-winning alternative cartoonist, printmaker, and musician based in Chicago. Their hand-drawn works combine Asian and American influences, their stories exploring personal narratives and growth often with absurd or magical realism twists. They currently self-publish their work through their own small risograph press REESO PRESS and play music. Explore more of Kelly's delightful art at their website, cchianart.com.
