Founded in 2008, Milwaukee Zine Fest (MZF) is an annual explosion of zine-focused wonder in the form of a boisterous festival featuring over 100 vendors from across the country.  It's always free to attend, and always super fun for all ages. The single day event is held at the Milwaukee Central Library, and packed with opportunities to explore and purchase various forms of DIY and independent publishing presented by diverse artists, writers, illustrators, photographers, poets--and more! The festival also features hands on experiences and workshops throughout the day.  Stop by to test a typewriter, make a letterpress print, construct a flipbook, or learn about zine culture, history, and social impact. MZF is a program of The Bindery in partnership with The Milwaukee Public Library. The Bindery runs additional zine programming year 'round including a collective zine publishing house and communal retail for zinesters.
