About the Miami Zine Fair

EXILE Projects is thrilled to announce the next Miami Zine Fair on Saturday, April 19, 2025, from 12–5 PM at Paradise Plaza in the Design District! This year is extra special as we celebrate EXILE’s 10th anniversary with an unforgettable event featuring interactive artwork, new zine releases, hands-on workshops, and more.

Since launching in 2015 as part of O, Miami Poetry Month, the Fair has grown into a vibrant hub for self-publishing, bringing together 150+ artists, writers, illustrators, and activists each year. Visitors can explore hundreds of zines—from handmade gems to expertly crafted editions—while enjoying live performances, site-specific artworks, podcasts, and other creative surprises.

A true celebration of independent publishing, the Miami Zine Fair welcomes people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

Join us for a decade of EXILE and a day of creativity, community, and discovery!
