Join the “zine scene” this weekend and enjoy independent works by local and well-known zinesters. In a nutshell, zines are self-published, small-circulation books, papers or websites that artistically express a spectrum of topics—everything from global warming to a zinester’s interest in hairless cats. Sounds interesting, right? Bring the family out to enjoy the FREE, one-day Long Beach Zine Fest and learn more about zines, listen to live music, and begin to create your very first zine.
