Hi everyone! Did you know there hasn’t been an active Boston zine fest since 2021? Let’s change that :) A team of Boston-based independent zines, magazines, newsletters and miscellaneous publications are coming together to host a Boston zine festival, and we need your help!

For those unfamiliar, a zine festival is a public event where creators of zines gather to sell, trade, and showcase their work. It’s all about community building! There are too few centralized places or spaces for zine fiends in Boston, & we want to bring back that magic!

This festival would rely 100% off of donations in order to pay for event rental space, the set-up (things like tables, DJs, etc.,), and workshops/panels/discussions, as well as eliminate or at the very least decrease costs for vendors and guests. If you are able to chip in at all, now is the time! Every dollar counts! The more you can give, the more accessible we can make this event for the organizers, vendors, & guests. Thank you so much & we can’t wait to make the Commonplace Zine Fest a reality for you all! If this all goes well, we can make it a recurring thing, which would be amazing. Thank you so much and we can’t wait to make the Commonplace Zine Fest a reality for you all!
