October is flying by, which means Fall Polaroid Week is around the corner. Every year we highlight Polaroid Week aka ‘RoidWeek during its spring and fall events and this year’s fall instant film celebration kicks off on October 22nd.

What is Polaroid Week?

If you haven’t heard of Polaroid Week before, here’s a quick recap. Polaroid Week is a community led event where photographers are encouraged to take and share their instant film photos. Polaroid photos are of course accepted, but other instant film brands are allowed as well. To check out this year’s earlier Spring ‘RoidWeek event and to get an overview of the rules for this upcoming ‘RoidWeek, join the Polaroid Week 2023 Flickr group here!
