Jacksonville Record & CD Festival Free Admission, free parking and album giveaways all day long! 9 am- 5 pm! What IS the Jacksonville Record & CD Festival?

North Florida's largest music collectors show! 65 tables of vinyl records, CDs, tapes, stereo gear, band shirts, show posters, storage supplies, almost everything music related! It is the largest free admission music related collectibles event in North Florida, Jacksonville to be exact! It is an event held every other month specifically for music lovers and pop culture collectors. We have a rotating cast of vendors bringing out tables full of the choicest vinyl record albums and CDs. You'll find cassette and 8 track tapes, posters, tour books, promo items, stereo gear, toys and so much more! Up to 65 tables filling the Board of Trustees ballroom on the campus of the University of North Florida in the Adam Herbert University Center. You'll never know what you'll see at the show- new sealed vinyl, classic pre-owned records, long out of print and tough to find CDs, autographed albums and posters, concert set lists, vintage music toys, cool stereo gear like turntables and receivers, framed pictures. You might find box after box chock full of records of pretty much every genre, like classic rock, metal, country, new wave, alternative, jazz, hip hop, funk, soundtracks and so many more! At our show, you might find album and cd giveaways, trivia contests, instant half price sales and maybe even a scavenger hunt! What makes our show different from other is that we try to offer vendors outside of the box- we've had artists offering tie dye clothing in the past. We've had start up clothing brands fill a table with their goods to begin making a name for themselves. We've had local venues come out to promote their concert events, and they gave away free tickets to shows! You just never know who is going to show up at the Jacksonville Record & CD Festival, maybe even your favorite rock star! The home for our show is the Adam Hebert University Center located on the campus of the University of North Florida. It is conveniently located on the southside of Jax, near the town center shopping mall, right off of Kernan Boulevard at 12000 Alumni Drive. Easiest way to get there is to take Butler Boulevard eastbound, exit
on Kernan, drive north and look for our signs pointing you in the right direction! You can also access Kernan from Beach Boulevard. Watch this page for show announcements and updates and follow us so you never miss the breaking news!

On Saturday, November 21st, at the Ramada Hotel & Conference Center in Mandarin (where the Comedy Zone is), it's the Jacksonville Record & CD Festival!! North Florida's largest music collectors event, with 65 tables of records, CDs, tapes, band shirts, concert posters, stereo gear, memorabilia, instruments and almost everything music related!

This incredibly fun event is free admission and free parking in the spacious Ramada lot. You'll find 20+ vendors from all over the southeast, featuring some of the greatest albums of all time as well as many you've forgotten about and maybe a few you've never seen before!

Bring your want list and browse table after table filled with vinyl, CDs, and tapes, dig into those crates and boxes, flip through record after record, and you just might find that grail you've been looking for, or one to fill in that hole in your collection! Meet fellow music lovers as they all search for great music!

And during the show, we'll be giving away these 9 brand new, still sealed records to very lucky attendees! We'll have trivia contests all day long, and if you can answer one right before anyone else, you win! Not so great at trivia but still want to win? Know this: at random times during the show, we hide one of our legendary "Golden Tickets" somewhere in the show room, and if you find it, you WIN!

It's a fun, free to get into way to spend a day, reminiscing about the music of your life, finding those long lost memories of going to those concerts and shows, the dances, cruising around with the radio blasting in your junk car! If you've never been to this show, you don't know what you're missing!

Saturday, November 21st, 9 am- 5 pm, Free Admission, Free Parking, 20+ vendors, 65 tables! Follow the official show page for the latest updates and previews of some of the cool stuff our vendors will have for YOU!

Get ready, fun is coming your way!

I've been asked to do a "request" thread so people can post some of the stuff they'll be looking for at the show on November 21st. I used to do this every show but the last time I did it, it only garnered a few requests, so I'm giving YOU one more chance or you'll never see it again, lol!

Post your want list but PLEASE be specific- include artist, album title and the format (vinyl, CD, tape, etc).

For example: REM- Eponymous- vinyl
Replacements- Live at CBGBs- CD
Metallica- Nothing But Abba Covers- cassette

Once you've posted your wants, know that the vendors scheduled to be at our show on November 21st will read this thread. If they have something on your post, they will "like" your post- they won't comment or contact you directly. Note the name of the vendor, so that when you go to the show, you can go to their tables and check out what they have- if you don't know the vendors, I post a floor plan on the front door of the show room that you can view, or you can just ask me at the show and I'll point you in the correct direction to head to!

PLEASE understand that you should only post what you intend to purchase. Vendors only have so much room to display merch so stocking what you post fills some of that space and if you don't buy, it hurts the vendor, who pays to be set up at the show! Please limit your post to stuff you intend to buy if you see it!

I'll pin this post to the top so everyone can see it. Now post your little hearts out!
