This year’s fest will be on August 16th from 12 to 6 pm at Fountain Street Church (24 Fountain St NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503). Check out parking options here.
We encourage masking for tablers and attendees to keep everyone safe, especially our immunocompromised friends.
Exhibitors set up in the morning, and doors open to the public at 12 pm sharp. Come check out all the creative self-published magazines, prints, stickers, and more that local and regional artists are excited to share. We hope you meet some awesome people and enjoy experiencing the magic of zines!
How do I get to Grand Rapids Zine Fest?
Paid parking lots
There are parking ramps and lots right downtown. Expect about a $10 daily max fee, but it varies.
Bus Stops
You can take the Rapid Bus for $1.75 for a single ride or $3.50 for a day pass. The Fountain / Division stop on Route 6 is the closest stop.
Shuttle Stops
The DASH is a free shuttle. The Main Library stop is the closest stop.
Street Parking
Parking meters are free on weekends unless otherwise noted on the meter. Most meters are compatible with the Motu app so you can pay digitally.
*Note: Division St. from Fulton St. to Michigan St. will be closed for construction from March to November 2025, so during this year’s GRZF, the Division/Rapid bus stop will not be operating. The DASH Main Library stops will remain active, just detouring to Sheldon Ave and E. Park Pl instead.
