With the idea of exposing DIY zines, comics, and crafts to the widest
possible audience, we decided to move the Fest yet again to a location
where a larger and more diverse group of attendees could find us. The
SF County Fair Building is over twice the size of last year's
location, and is located in beautiful Golden Gate Park, just a block
off of 9th Ave. and Lincoln. We are expecting more attendees and
exhibitors than ever this year.
This year due to popular demand the SF Zine Fest will once again be
over a full weekend, with longer hours overall as well!

It looks like the Zine Fest site was hacked! So lame... however,
we've got it back online, as you can see. Please note that the exhibitor
page needs to be re-written, so don't fret if you don't see your name there for now,
everything should be back to normal in a day or two! Whew!

Attention exhibitors: Table space at the 2007 SF Zine Fest is officially SOLD OUT!Despite having quite a few more table spaces available than last year, we are already full up a month prior to the Fest.
We are maintaining a waiting list for all the applications that we are still recieving, and
we are trying out some radical experiments (involving a lot of higher mathmatics) to see if we
can miraculously fit any other tables in to the Women's Building, but for now, if you don't see your name on
our Confirmed Exhibitors page,
you don't have a space reserved for you at the Fest. Thank you to everyone for signing up and
making the SFZF a sure-fire success, and our appologies to all who couldn't get a space!
