Recordings from all musical genres, from the 1950s to the present day
For decades now, it has been an integral part of the Christmas season for many music fans in the Ruhr region. We’re talking about the traditional Dortmund Record Fair, which always takes place on Boxing Day, December 26, at the Westfalenhallen.
Some 2,100 exhibitors from Germany and abroad will be showcasing over 1 million records spanning all musical genres, from good old vinyl records (= real music, not fleeting digital files) to the latest CD releases. The fair also features collector’s items and fan souvenirs. Even the latest vinyl records, fresh from the pressing plant, are surprisingly affordable. So whether you’re looking for rarities or music on vinyl for a bargain price, this event is a must for anyone with ears. It’s the perfect opportunity to trade cash gifts for records and treat yourself—or others—to a musical Christmas present, even after the fact. So be sure to stop by on December 26 (a holiday) at the Dortmund Record Fair in the Westfalenhallen (11 a.m.–4 p.m.).
