The Miami Zine Fair returns on Saturday, April 4, 2026, from 12–5 PM at Paradise Plaza in Miami’s Design District.
This year also marks the debut of a new visual identity for the Fair, with branding by designer Edau and a newly launched website—introducing a refreshed look that reflects the Fair’s continued growth while staying rooted in its original spirit.
Founded in 2015 by EXILE Projects as part of O, Miami Poetry Month, the Miami Zine Fair is a cornerstone of EXILE’s nonprofit community programming. Always 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 150+ artists, writers, illustrators, activists, and poets from Miami and beyond. The one-day event features a dynamic mix of zine exhibitors, performances, site-specific artworks, demonstrations, podcasts, workshops, and interactive programming—creating an environment that is energetic, inclusive, and deeply community-driven.
The Fair showcases the remarkable diversity of independent publishing practices, welcoming people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Visitors can explore immersive installations, multimedia activations, and hundreds of zines—ranging from the handmade and experimental to the meticulously crafted—produced by local and international makers. It’s a sensory-rich experience that invites the public to browse, touch, read, and discover, offering a rare opportunity to engage directly with artists and their work.
