Record Store Day, established in 2007, is an annual celebration dedicated to honoring the unique culture of independent record stores worldwide. Taking place on a designated Saturday in April (typically the third) and on Black Friday in November, this event unites fans, musicians, and countless independent record stores.
Exclusive records are pressed specifically for Record Store Day and are available only at participating stores. The event originated in the United States but has since expanded globally, with official organizers in the UK, Ireland, Mexico, Europe, Japan, and Australia.
