Record Store Day 2017 is upon us, and there are four official RSD events that Miami-Dade residents can choose from if they want to partake in the festivities.
What’s Record Store Day? In the words of the fine folks who organize the event every year:
This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store—the staff, the customers, and the artists—to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities.
Official Record Store Day participating stores
Brooklyn Vintage and Vinyl | Directions
Recently opened to the public in late 2016, Brooklyn Vintage and Vinyl is aptly named for its wares. Visit their website or read about their November 2016 opening here.
Museo del Disco | Directions

“The selection is overwhelming and not just when it comes to Spanish-language genres. Although lacking in hip-hop, el Museo is well stocked in everything from classic and alternative rock to jazz.

Yesterday and Today Records | Directions
Yesterday and Today may be the smallest venue participating in Record Store Day, but it’s also a winner of the coveted “Best Record Store” award from Miami New Times (2012). Y&T has been a South Miami staple for the past 35 years as the population has exploded and the area urbanized around it, but it still retains a vintage Miami charisma (and vintage website).
