Things like Record Store Day and the numerous Colorado brick-and-mortar record stores like Triple Play Records in Grand Junction, Angelo's and Wax Trax in Denver, and many more, have secured not only vinyl's comeback but its relevance and perceived longevity as well.

While Record Store Day typically takes place around Thanksgiving and 4/20 each year, Colorado will see the return of a massive gathering for vinyl enthusiasts even sooner in the form of the Rocky Mountain Record Show.

The show will feature a wide array of vinyl vendors as well as food trucks, live DJ entertainment, a bar for attendees 21 years of age or older, multiple other vendors, and more.

Admission into the show on Sunday is free, but tickets to Saturday's show will be $10 for adults with special early bird entry available for $27.50.

It's refreshing to see events that promote music in physical media as well as means of obtaining music that benefit artists, small, independent businesses, and fans of nostalgia.

Check out all the details about the Rocky Mountain Record Show on the event's official website.
