Parramatta Zine Fair is a creative celebration of the multicultural city of Parramatta. We are inviting zine-makers and indie publishers to showcase art, zines and literature celebrating the diverse cultures, languages, stories and people of Parramatta and Western Sydney.
Parramatta Zine Fair will be held on Saturday, 20th September 2025 at the Arts & Cultural Exchange in Parramatta. This special flagship event is presented by the School of Zines in partnership with Parramatta’s Lit and Sydney Fringe Festival.
ALL zine-makers, artists, photographers, writers, and indie publishers are welcome to apply but due to limited spaces at the venue, priority will be given to creatives actively making art, literature and zines in Parramatta and Western Sydney.

School of Zines, Wolfbound Books and the Arts & Cultural Exchange work on the lands, skies and waters of the Burramadagal of the Dharug and we pay our respects to their Ancestors and Elders, past, present and emerging. Their ceremonies, stories, traditions and spirit live and remain. We honour their custodianship, seen and unseen. First Nations first, diversity and equity are our guiding principles.
