Miami Zine Fair 2026 Details

The Miami Zine Fair returns this weekend running from 12 noon until 5pm at Paradise Plaza in Miami’s Design District on April 4.

This year also marks the debut of a new visual identity for the Fair, with fresh branding by designer Edau and a newly launched website that reflects the Fair’s continued growth while maintaining its original spirit.

Founded in 2015 by EXILE Projects as part of O, Miami Poetry Month, the Miami Zine Fair is a central element of EXILE’s nonprofit community programming. Free and open to the public, the Fair has grown into a vibrant annual gathering celebrating self-publishing, independent print culture, and creative exchange.

Each year, the Miami Zine Fair brings together more than 150 artists, writers, illustrators, activists, and poets from Miami and beyond. The one-day event features a mix of zine exhibitors, performances, site-specific artworks, demonstrations, podcasts, workshops, and interactive programming to create an energetic, inclusive, and community-driven event.

The Fair showcases the diversity of independent publishing practices and features hundreds of zines, ranging from the handmade and experimental to the meticulously crafted, produced by local and international makers. Members of the public are strongly encouraged to browse, touch, read, and engage directly with artists and their work.
