The Zipper is based in Columbia, MO and was founded in 2022 by three local women who share a passion for creative expression, live music, and human connection. The Zipper festival was designed to both celebrate our community and create a space for people to connect. The Zipper brings together creators, makers, artisans, and performers with people across mid-Missouri to experience unique art installations, explore the talents of local artists and crafters, enjoy local food and drinks, and meet and mingle with neighbors.
