GREENSBORO ZINE FEST 2025
Event Name: GREENSBORO ZINE FEST 2025
When/Where: July 27th 2025, ONE REP WEIGHTLIFTING in Greensboro NC
What: Zine festival!
Rating: 5/5
Website: https://gsozinefest.com/
Income: ~$200. Traded about $50 worth of stuff on top of that
Expenses: Table was $35 for half of a 3ft table.
Provided: Half table, and two chairs. Free parking. Free cupcakes and coffee!
Pros:
- The staff were great. They were going around looking at art, making sure we were OK, and refilling the water and food for everyone.
- Speaking of water… water dispensed from a cooler, with options for cold, warm, and hot. It's great to just get up and get water for yourself!
- Cool artist culture, people trade and talk to each other, very supportive. People brought their own tables and chairs to share with each other!
- It's closer to us than Durham/Raleigh, 1 hr of travel vs 2 hours.
- Mostly print material, rather than mass-manufactured stuff like charms and pins. I like print material.
- Great inspiration for us to make a bunch of new zines!
Cons:
- Small space with little air conditioning means it was a little warm. It wasn't HOT, but just a bit over room temperatuer. They did suggest bringing a personal fan, which we WERE GONNA but then we forgot to pack it in the trunk ahah.
Would you go again?:
Yes! I would like to bring more small objects like free stickers and mini zines to use the half-table space much better.
