Zine festivals have been happening around the country (and the world) for several decades, celebrating the DIY nature of printmaking, accessible information and anti-mainstream narratives—and Tampa’s own slice of counterculture happens this weekend in Seminole Heights.

In addition to the dozens of artists, printmakers, writers, sculptors and creators that are tabling their zines and other creative wares, the family-friendly Tampa Zine Festival also features live performances, eats from Rene’s Mexican Kitchen and This Little Pig food truck and sips from Southern Brewing.

Tampa’s annual zine fest has been happening off and on for about a decade, although there’s no one person or group that organizes the community-oriented event.

There’s no cover for Tampa Zine Fest happening Saturday, Feb. 10 at Southern Brewing & Winemaking in Seminole Heights.
