Record Store Day

April 20, Saturday

Record Store Day is an annual event celebrated in the United States and other countries dedicated to independent record stores. It is held on the third Saturday in April and is aimed at supporting and promoting independent vinyl record stores and music stores in general.

Traditions and Events
Release of exclusive albums and editions. As part of this day, many music artists and labels release limited editions of vinyl records, CDs, and rare music editions available only on the day of the event. These editions often become collector's items, which stimulates interest in the event.

Concerts and live performances. Many record stores organize live performances, concerts, and autograph sessions with artists to attract visitors and create a unique atmosphere. Some cities host festivals and special events on the streets and in public places related to music and stores.

Sales and discounts. On this day, record stores often offer discounts on vinyl records and other music products, as well as sales of rare and collectible items.

Supporting independent stores. Record Store Day is important for independent retailers because it helps draw attention to their businesses, which face competition from large online retailers and digital platforms.
