Poznań’s independent publishing and DIY art scene comes together again this weekend as Poznań Zinfest 2026 takes over Dom Tramwajarza on 26 and 27 September.
The event brings together more than 100 exhibitors from across Poland and abroad, with tables filled with independently produced zines, comics, artbooks, poetry, pamphlets and other creative work. The festival also makes space for less conventional and personal forms of artistic expression, with a particular focus on emerging and non-commercial creators.
A weekend of zines, art and DIY culture
Zinfest is not simply a marketplace. Alongside the exhibitors, the programme includes workshops, talks, film screenings, concerts and other activities, all taking place in the rooms at Dom Tramwajarza.
Admission to the festival and its accompanying programme is free, with no registration required. However, making a donation to the organisers is encouraged.
The full list of exhibitors and the detailed programme are being published by the organisers on the official Poznań Zinfest Facebook page.
For visitors unfamiliar with the format, the fair offers an opportunity to discover work that is often produced in small quantities and outside the traditional publishing and gallery system. It is also a chance to meet the people behind the publications and talk directly with artists and independent publishers.
The weekend continues after the festival with two afterparties at PAN GAR in Dom Tramwajarza.
