Grab your favorite zines about life en plein air, BYOS(nacks), and join us on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: The Great Outdoors Edition at 7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, July 19!

In July, Zine Club Chicago also will be teaming up with Zine Party to host an in-person outdoor meetup called Zine Camp! If you’d like to trade zines and eat s’mores with your fellow zine enthusiasts in Chicago on Sunday, July 17, check out all the details at https://zine.camp/

** RSVP required ** To help make sure that online Zine Club Chicago events are a safe space, the Zoom link won’t be released publicly. If you’d like to attend, please email zineclubchicago@gmail.com to RSVP by 9 p.m. CT Monday, July 18 (the evening before our event). You’ll receive the Zoom link by 5 p.m. CT on Tuesday, July 19.

This free monthly series is produced by Cynthia E. Hanifin and sponsored by Quimby’s Bookstore.

Zine Camp
3-5 p.m. Central Time
Sunday, July 17, 2022
Humboldt Park, Chicago
Free!

++ PLEASE NOTE: This is an off-site event! ++

Pack up your long-arm stapler, grab your sunscreen, and meet up with your fellow zine enthusiasts at Zine Camp! If you love zines, you’re invited to this in-person, outdoor summer hangout.

Join the fun at 3-5 p.m. CT on Sunday, July 17 in Chicago’s Humboldt Park.* There will be s’mores, snacks, and some fun surprises … feel free to drop in anytime and stay for as long as you like.

Where to go in Humboldt Park:

Zine Camp will be held on the park side of North Avenue between Mozart Street and Francisco Avenue (just west of the intersection of California Avenue and North Avenue). **

Look for the Zine Camp flying proudly!

What to bring to camp (if you choose):

  • Zines to trade (your own or your faves by other zinemakers)
  • Snacks to share
  • A beverage (we recommend bug juice)
  • Sunscreen and bug spray if you need it
  • Something to sit on (blanket, camp chair, etc.)
  • A face mask if you want to wear one

Zine newbies and longtime fans alike are welcome at Zine Camp! This free event is brought to you by Zine Club Chicago + Zine Party.

More info at zine.camp. Facebook event here.

* Post-event gathering + BAD WEATHER LOCATION info:  After Zine Camp wraps up in the park at 5 p.m., a group of folks will head over to the outdoor patio at the Hi-Lo (1110 N. California Ave.) to continue the revelry! The Hi-Lo patio (which has tables covered with umbrellas) also will be the alternate Zine Camp gathering spot in case of rain — please keep an eye on the Zine Club Chicago social media accounts (@zineclubchicago) for updates if the weather is not conducive to a park gathering.

** Please note that the closest public restrooms that will be open during our event are just across North Avenue at Burger King (2840 W. North Ave.; purchase may be required to use facilities) and a few blocks down North Avenue at Cermak Produce (2701 W. North Ave.; purchase not required to use facilities). This isn’t ideal, of course, but the event organizers could not confirm that any public restrooms within the park will be open.

++ This event will NOT be held at Quimby’s ++
