HalloZine Fest 2026 - Pensacola Zine Festival

Your life is a zine. Situate yourself on the pages of these small, do-it-yourself publications, and discover diverse stories at the 2nd annual HalloZine Fest in Downtown Pensacola. Sometimes silly, straight-forward, or chaotic, zines are a route for vibrant self-expression.

HalloZine Fest features a unique marketplace, zine exhibits, and presentations by acclaimed zine artists like the popular influencer Bratty Bre, illustrator and author Cristy Road Carrera, and Giant Robot co-founder and Razorcake contributor Martin Wong.

Most festival events are FREE and occur at Voices of Pensacola during the day on Thurs, Oct 29 and Fri, Oct 30.
