The purpose of Street Cat Zine Fest event is to celebrate and foster the zine community in a non-commercial setting.



SCZF creates a space for people to have a free, accessible way to experience zine culture. SCZF is always a non-profit event that is free and open to the public. SCZF showcases zines and DIY art for free, trade, donation, education, and enjoyment (ie people don’t sell stuff here). SCZF is a place to celebrate zines for their potential to liberate people, to share in community with one another, and to build a better society.

The main organizing structure of our zine fest is New Cult, a Marxist socio-political collective that works to create sustainable, safe (not censored) spaces and equity within our local community.
