words by staff writer

Melbourne Record Fair returns to the iconic Queen Victoria Market for two huge days of vinyl hunting in 2026.

Set inside C Shed at Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne Record Fair is bringing together over 20,000 new and used records sourced from Melbourne’s best vinyl dealers.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just getting into the whole wax thing, there’s something here for every kind of music lover, from dusty classics to fresh pressings you didn’t know you needed until they were in your hands.

Vinyl DJs will be spinning throughout the day, so you’re never just staring at sleeves in silence. There’s a proper atmosphere to dig through. And because it’s Queen Vic, you’re already surrounded by some of the best food and drink options in the city, so you can take a break, refuel, and head back in for another round.

It’s worth noting that Queen Victoria Market is no ordinary backdrop.

Home to Melbourne’s beloved Night Market series, including the long-running Summer Night Market and the Hawker 88 Night Market, Queen Vic has a well-earned reputation as the heartbeat of the city’s community events scene. The Melbourne Record Fair slots right into that tradition, making it a proper day out rather than just a quick browse.

Pack a tote bag. Bring a mate. Leave with more records than you planned for.
