If you have a friend who buys and collects vinyl, then you must have heard about Music Store Day. This is an annual event that began in 2007. It is held on the third Saturday of April.

What kind of holiday
Record Store Day aims to promote independent record stores as well as unite vinyl fans. The holiday originated in 2007 when independent shop owners got together to discuss the idea. In 2008 they were backed by big names like Metallica, Jack White and Ozzy Osbourne.
RCD began to be held annually on the third Saturday of April. As of 2012, there are only about 1,600 independent music stores in the US, according to the Almighty Institute of Music Retail. Today, it is becoming increasingly difficult for corporate and online retailers to compete with smaller independent outlets, which is why Record Store Day is committed to supporting these indie stores, not online retailers or corporate monsters.
On Record Store Day, you can purchase new releases or exclusive older recordings. Some large stores even host guest artists who sign autographs. Visit any of the Miami stores that we wrote about below on a holiday.
The best vinyl stores in Miami
Music store day is also important for local stores, as it helps keep them afloat and allows them to take part in events, invite local musicians and support other local companies.
We have prepared for you a list of stores that celebrate this festival in Miami.
Sweat records
The doors of the store open at 8:00. Anyone who will stand in line until 7 am, will receive the right to buy a record of their choice. During the day, DJs will work in the store, including Arthur Baker, DJ Hottpants, Gabe Kardashian and DJ Skidmark. There will also be a happy hour from 4 to 6 in the evening. And after — a big party.
The show at Churchill’s pub starts at 7 pm and in 2018 included Charlie Pickett, Seafoam Walls, Mo'Booty Band and Millionyoung. DJs Richie Hell and Javier Zucker will play between sets all night. If this is not enough, there will be a lot of gifts — for example, the Run The Jewels prize package, Fillmore Miami Beach tickets and the performance of an unexpected guest were previously played
