BZF UPDATE: Zine Swaps Are ON for 2025!

Hey zinesters, artists, and beloved BZF community—We heard your feedback, felt the love, and we’re so excited to announce two zine swaps for 2025! While we’re taking a break from a full festival this year, these swaps are going to be full of creativity, community, and connection:

✂️ Swap #1

🗓 August 2, 2025📍 Machinists Union Hall Local 282 – 822 Park Ave, Bremerton💪 UNION STRONG!This one lands the same weekend as the West Sound Film Festival (check it out here)—and both events are just blocks from the Seattle/Bremerton and Bremerton/Port Orchard ferries. Come for the zines, stay for the films (or vice versa).

✂️ Swap #2

🗓 October 4, 2025📍 Kitsap Regional Library – Poulsbo BranchWe’ll be spotlighting zines on mutual aid, democracy, and local government, but all zines and styles are welcome. Come share your work and meet some fellow creatives doing the good work.

We’re also making more room for open table swaps this year—because you asked and we’re listening. Bring your zines, trade with new pals, and hang with some seriously cool folks.
