The South Bend Record Show, the largest one-day sale of recorded music in Michiana, returns for its second event of the 2023 season. The show takes place on Sunday, April 2, at The Gillespie Conference Center at Hilton Garden Inn, located at 53995 IN 933, just north of St. Mary’s campus.
Vendors from Tennessee, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana will fill nearly 90 tables with thousands of music items, including pre-loved LPs, new vinyl releases, 45s, CDs, cassettes, posters, vintage stereo gear, T-shirts, record supplies, and more. The event focuses on rock, pop, metal, and punk music from the 1960s to today but also includes various other musical genres such as jazz, blues, country, and movie soundtracks.
Admission to the show is $2 starting at 11 a.m. and $7 for early entry, beginning at 9 a.m. Door prize drawings will be held at noon, 1:30 p.m., and 3 p.m., giving customers the chance to win shopping certificates and record products from BCW Supplies, the show’s sponsor.
“Whether you are new to vinyl or have been collecting for decades, you will feel right at home at this show,” said South Bend resident Jeremy D. Bonfiglio, the organizer of the event. “We are all music fans and share the excitement when customers finally find a record they’ve been searching for or discover music they didn’t even know they needed.”
Cash is the preferred form of payment, but select vendors also accept PayPal, Zelle, and credit and debit cards.
The South Bend Record Show is held every other month. Future dates for 2023 are June 4, Aug. 6, Oct. 1 and Dec. 3.
