The Victoria Record Fair will be occurring on Sunday, May 7th, 2023 at the Fernwood Community Center, which is located at 1240 Gladstone Ave.
Admission will be $2 to $5 with free admission for kids. And the nearest bus stops are at Fernwood at Gladstone (#100240 / #100245).
Hopefully this will post fine. My previous record convention listing for last weekend failed for some reason. Argh!
I hope you get to find some gems. Enjoy your weekend.
What are you doing this weekend?
Record Store Day will occur this Saturday at select stores, as well as a convention in Montreal.
The Montreal Plateau Show at the Église St Denis at 5075 rue Rivard from 10am to 4pm and admission is free unless you want to go in early for $15 at 9am.
You’ll notice that the church faces the Édicule B of the Laurier Metro Station. And don’t forget, you can purchase a day pass to visit the Montreal participants of Record Store Day as well.
On Sunday, there will also be a record convention in Bowmansville, Ontario.
The Bowmansville CD and Records Show will be held at the Memorial Park Clubhouse at 120 Liberty St. South from 10am to 9pm and admission will be free.
It is accessible from exit 432 on the MacDonald Cartier Freeway and is a 10 minute walk away from Bus Stop 1499 at the corner of Prince and Liberty (next to the Lakeridge Health Bowmanville Hospital).
Enjoy.

New Record Show
The Ottawa Record Swap, Show and Sale is back and will be happening this Saturday, November 19th, 2022 at the Alexander Community Center at 960 Silver Street, from 1 pm to 5 pm.
I believe admission and parking will be free at the venue but if you choose to take the bus, service is provided by Route 80 and the nearest bus stops to the venue are on Merivale (7437 and 4819).
You may be asked to wear a mask because this is a Ottawa City facility and you should consider having cash for some of the vendors.
Additional fall dates for record shows can be found on my August 29th blog entry, which is available by clicking here. Thank you.
