The East Village Zine Fair is taking place this weekend

The rescheduled East Village Zine Fair (from June 24 on St. Mark's) is taking place this weekend — Saturday and Sunday — at Performance Space New York, 150 First Ave. and Ninth Street. 

Printed Matter/St. Mark's and 8-Ball Community are organizing this third annual Zine Fair that serves as "a celebration of NYC’s zine-makers, independent publishers, and the East Village’s history of DIY culture past and present."

Hours:

• Saturday, July 8 — 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.*

• Sunday, July 9  — 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

* According to organizers: "Saturday will begin with two mask-mandatory hours and a reduced visitor capacity to ensure that those who are immunocompromised and/or disabled have a chance to browse the Fair. To ensure entry during this time, register via this link."

The Zine Fair has been rescheduled to July 8

The third-annual Zine Fair, organized by Printed Matter/St. Mark's and 8-Ball Community, has a new date — Saturday, July 8. 

Given the chance of rain tomorrow (June 24), the Zine Fair is moving from St. Mark's Place between First Avenue and Second Avenue to Performance Space 122 at 150 First Ave. and Ninth Street. 

Per the organizers: 

While we are disappointed that the Fair won't take place at its home on St Mark's Place, we cannot imagine a better alternative than Performance Space, a fellow arts nonprofit in the heart of the East Village. We are so grateful for their support and generosity in hosting the EVZF this year.

Printed Matter and 8-Ball Community will provide more specifics about what to expect on July 8 in the days ahead.

Hundreds of zine enthusiasts turned out on Saturday for the second-annual Zine Fair on St Mark's Place between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Printed Matter/St. Mark's and 8-Ball Community teamed up once again for the event that featured more than 70 independent publishers, zine makers and artists. (There were also several collaborative events at community gardens throughout the neighborhood.)
