MIAMI ZINE FAIR 2025
EXILE Projects is thrilled to announce that the next Miami Zine Fair will take place on Saturday, April 19, 2025, from 12–5 PM at Paradise Plaza in the Design District!
This year’s Fair is extra special as it celebrates EXILE’s 10th anniversary. In honor of this milestone, we’re organizing an unforgettable event featuring interactive artwork, new zine releases, hands-on workshops, and more.
Since its inception in April 2015, as part of O, Miami Poetry Month, the Miami Zine Fair has become a vibrant hub for self-publishing and creativity. Each year, it brings together 150+ artists, writers, illustrators, activists, and poets, with a dynamic mix of performances, site-specific artworks, demonstrations, podcasts, and other exciting activities.
The Fair showcases the incredible diversity of makers embracing independent publishing in Miami and beyond, welcoming people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Visitors can explore immersive installations, multimedia activations, and hundreds of zines—ranging from the handmade to the expertly crafted—created by local and international artists. It’s a sensory-rich experience where the public is invited to touch, peruse, and even smell the works on display.
Join us in celebrating a decade of EXILE and an amazing day of creativity, community, and discovery! For more information, please visit miamizinefair.com
