Dallas Zine Fest 2026 is teaming up with the iconic Nasher Sculpture Center to host this year’s event. The official vendor hall will be located in the Nasher Auditorium with zine-themed activies in the garden.

Due to the size of the venue and to keep things running smoothly this year’s application process will be juried. That means not everyone who applies will automatically get a spot, but we’ve got a plan to make this as smooth as possible. Here’s how it works:

1) Submit your application. Please note, in order to keep Dallas Zine Fest on theme, this year’s event requires all vendors to have at least one (1) zine on display. Applying to Dallas Zine Fest is free and applications are open from September 5, 2026 to October 5, 2026.

2) Wait for your invitation. The DZF Street Team will review all applications and cull a list of accepted vendors based on space constraints. When accepted, you’ll receive a link to register for this year’s Dallas Zine Fest. This is where you can confirm your information and pay the vendor fee*. *This fee covers one (1) official Dallas Zine Fest shirt, one (1) rented table, and one (1) rented chair.
