Dictator Records to Celebrate Record Store Day with Live Music, Local Vendors, and Community Food Drive on April 18, 2026

Greensboro, NC — April 18, 2026 — Dictator Records, Greensboro’s independent vinyl destination at 1008 Westside Drive, will host a full-day Record Store Day celebration on Saturday, April 18, 2026. The store will open at 10:00 AM and remain open until 8:00 PM, featuring exclusive Record Store Day (RSD) title releases, live DJ sets, artist performances, local vendors, food trucks, and a community food drive supporting a local nonprofit.

Whether collectors, casual listeners, or families, attendees can expect an energetic lineup of music and community-focused activities throughout the day. Exclusive RSD titles will be available while supplies last, alongside new and classic vinyl, turntables, and music merch. Live DJ sets will keep the atmosphere lively, and scheduled artist performances will showcase local talent across genres. Local vendors and food trucks will offer a variety of shopping and dining options for visitors of all ages.

“We’re excited to bring our neighbors together for a day that celebrates music, local culture, and community support,” said Jamie Rivers, owner of Dictator Records. “Record Store Day is about more than limited releases — it’s a chance to connect with fellow music lovers, support local artists and businesses, and give back to the people who make Greensboro such a great place to live.”

In addition to music and shopping, Dictator Records will host a canned food drive during the event. Guests are encouraged to bring at least one non-perishable canned good to support the store’s partner nonprofit organization, which provides meals and food assistance to individuals and families in the Greensboro community. The food drive reinforces Dictator Records’ commitment to local causes and aims to collect a significant amount of donations during the event.

The store will operate under standard health and safety practices. Attendees should arrive early for the most sought-after RSD releases, as limited copies often sell quickly. Full event details, including DJ and performance schedules, will be posted on Dictator Records’ social channels in the weeks leading up to April 18.
