Napa ZIne Fest Meet-Up 2025 - Saturday Sept. 6 10am~2pm on the sidewalk @ Bookmine
1625 2nd St. Napa,Calif.
Come share your creativity at our upcoming Zine Meet-Up! Whether you’re into photography, illustration, storytelling, poetry, this is a place to express yourself and connect with others. We’re inviting artists, writers, and curious creators of all experience levels to make their own zines and showcase their work in a fun, supportive environment.
Bring your ideas, your voice, and your passion. Whether it’s deeply personal, playful, or totally abstract—your art belongs here. Zines are for everyone, and this is your chance to get inspired and inspire others!
This will be a fun informal gathering. We want you to make and bring zines to sell or trade.
There will be a ZINE stand on the sidewalk in front of Bookmine to display your work!

NAPA ZINE FEST Friends:
PLEASE READ:
The Napa Zine Fest will provide a zine stand at Bookmine to disply all the zines
If you are selling your zine, the payment transaction is up to you. NOT Napa Zine Fest or Bookmine.
We welcome a wide range of expression, but please clearly label your zine or packaging if it contains NSFW content. This helps everyone engage respectfully.
🚫 No Hate Speech. No Exceptions.
This is a creative space built on respect, inclusion, and community. Hate speech, bigotry, or discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated—period. If you can’t engage with others in a way that is kind and respectful, this event is not for you. We’re here to lift each other up, not tear anyone down.
