Soundgrowler's Fifth Annual Vinyl Market Returns November 7!
Five years of crate digging, discovering local artists, supporting small businesses, and enjoying some great craft beer! That’s something worth celebrating!
The Streetz Artz Alliance and Soundgrowler Brewing are excited to celebrate the 5th Annual Vinyl Market on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 12pm to 5pm at Soundgrowler Brewing Co., 8201 183rd Street, Suite P, in Tinley Park, Illinois.
The event is FREE to attend, family friendly, and entirely indoors! Whether you're a serious record collector, a casual music fan, an art lover, or someone who simply enjoys discovering unique local businesses, there's something waiting for you at this year's market.
We're bringing together one of our largest selections of vinyl yet, alongside an incredible lineup of nearly 40 local artists, makers, collectors, and small businesses. Add Soundgrowler's craft beer, tacos, burritos, and a great atmosphere, and you've got an afternoon worth making plans for!
And don't worry about the November weather. All participating artists and vendors will be indoors, rain or shine! Weather permitting, Soundgrowler's outdoor beer garden will also be available for additional seating.
More Than Just Vinyl: Where Music Meets Art!
One of our favorite things about the Vinyl Market is watching our artists embrace the musical theme and create something special for the occasion. This year, several artists are bringing music-inspired creations you won't find at your typical record show!
Dive Bar Soap Company is turning up the volume on self-care with products inspired by music and song lyrics. Look for Fresh Beats bath bombs, De Pêche Mode body cream, Roses on Your Grave soap, and Moonlight Drive perfume oil. Music fans might recognize a few references!
Mixtape Your Life, created by Chicago-area artist Melissa Lyn, brings colorful, retro-inspired jewelry, accessories, pins, and keychains influenced by music, pop culture, and nostalgia. She's even bringing rockin' holiday ornaments, including one that goes to 11!
Becky Blue Designs is bringing quirky, nostalgic artwork with a musical twist. Joliet illustrator Becky Maslowski has created a special Godzilla-inspired design for tote bags that are perfectly sized for carrying vinyl records. That's right, you can buy some records and find the perfect bag to carry them home!
The Crooked Workbench has been working on special Pink Floyd-inspired creations, including pieces influenced by *The Division Bell*. Expect these alongside handcrafted and 3D-printed décor, collectibles, and other creative finds.
Left to Right, Top to Bottom: Becky Blue Designs has tote bags perfect for carrying records, Sharonable Crafts will have lots of musical themed shadowboxes, The Crooked Workbench made a special Pink Floyd inspired piece for sale, Prismatic Pumpkins made mini album covers from Perler beads, KP's Candy Fortress has perfect chocolate covered musical Oreos and Mixtape Your Life has the perfect sassy wearable art for sale.
Prismatic Pumpkins is bringing fuse bead artwork inspired by music, including miniature album covers, cassette tapes, and other nostalgic designs. You'll also find their signature keychains, wall hangings, pins, and handmade creations.
SharonAble Crafts, a Tinley Park artist specializing in dimensional layered paper art, has created music-inspired shadowboxes and ceramic car coasters featuring musical cats, apes, guitars, and other playful designs.
Scrapgrinder Guitars is another perfect fit for this event, bringing cigar box guitars, stomp boxes, and wall-mounted guitar hangers. A great stop for musicians and anyone who appreciates unique handcrafted instruments.
And don't miss Belonio Doodles and the featured artwork from AmyMakesArt! Their music-inspired prints will be displayed in the Featured Artist Section across from the bar, including some rockstar-inspired artwork.
You'll also discover original artwork painted on 12-inch vinyl records, CD clocks, music-related comics, and other creative pieces throughout the market. There's no shortage of ways to celebrate your love of music beyond adding another record to your collection!
Let's Talk Vinyl! Crate Diggers, This Is Your Moment!
Five years in, we're looking to make this one of our best vinyl markets yet!
Several participating record vendors are taking additional booth space to bring even more inventory. Whether you're searching for vintage pressings, sealed releases, hard-to-find albums, or something completely unexpected, you'll have plenty of crates to explore.

Apex Records Store – Specializing in melodic rock, hard rock, heavy metal, and extreme metal, with vinyl and music collectibles.

Whether you're hunting for your next favorite album or just enjoy flipping through records and discovering something new, we encourage you to take your time and explore. You never know what you'll find!
Not a Record Collector? We've Got Plenty for You, Too!
The Vinyl Market may be built around music, but the Streetz Artz Alliance has always believed that a great market should offer something for everyone.
That's why we've curated a diverse collection of artists, makers, specialty food businesses, and independent vendors that extends well beyond records.
Hungry for something sweet? KP's Candy Factory is bringing handcrafted chocolates, turtles, toffee, chocolate-covered treats, roasted nuts, and other goodies. Cookie's Gluten Free Kitchen, Grandma Dan's Bakery, Hex & Crust, and Masterclass Savory Sweet Foods add cookies, breads, pies, scones, and other baked treats to the mix.
For specialty foods and beverages, look for freshly roasted coffee from Gigawatt Coffee Roasters, local honey from Honey Grove, and pickles, peppers, and other flavorful creations from FeFe's Pickles and Peppers. You'll also find unique food products and specialty mixes throughout the market.
There's plenty of art and handmade merchandise, too!
Browse illustrated books, original artwork, prints, and jewelry from Melanie Klegerman Fersko, along with creative offerings from Kulay Illustrations, Robin Monique Rios Art, and other participating artists.
Explore candles and wax melts from Lemont-based Scents of Time, handcrafted jewelry, glasswork, home décor, unique collectibles, and reworked apparel. From vintage-inspired clothing and handmade accessories to imaginative gifts and functional art, there's a lot to discover.
You'll even find handmade pet treats and accessories, including dog biscuits, bandanas, bow ties, and catnip toys for your four-legged family members.
Looking for something a little different? Ten Cups Tarot will be offering tarot readings, adding another unique experience to the afternoon.
And with the holiday shopping season officially underway, this is a great opportunity to find something original while putting your dollars directly into the hands of local artists and small businesses.
Shopping Small and Giving Back
One of the most rewarding parts of organizing events through the Streetz Artz Alliance is seeing how our artists support their communities beyond the marketplace.
Several participating artists incorporate charitable giving into their businesses, and we love having the opportunity to share those efforts.
Masterclass Savory Sweet Foods is one example, regularly donating a portion of its sales to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Their commitment to supporting children and families facing serious illness is something we're proud to highlight.
Supporting small businesses means more than making a purchase. It means helping independent artists continue creating, strengthening our local communities, and sometimes helping those businesses give back to causes that matter.
That community-minded spirit is an important part of what the Streetz Artz Alliance stands for.
Five Years of Music, Art, and Community!
Reaching the fifth year of the Vinyl Market is an exciting milestone for both Soundgrowler Brewing and the Streetz Artz Alliance.
What makes these events special isn't just the merchandise. It's the conversations between collectors, the relationships formed between artists and patrons, the discoveries made while browsing, and the opportunity to bring people together around shared interests.
John Streetz, head of the Streetz Artz Alliance and curator of the Vinyl Market, continues to focus on building events that celebrate originality, variety, and local talent. The goal is to create an experience where established collectors, curious shoppers, artists, and families can all feel welcome.
And Soundgrowler Brewing is the perfect place to do it!
Grab a freshly poured Soundgrowler beer, soda, tacos, or a burrito, take a walk through the market, and spend an afternoon enjoying everything this collaboration has to offer.
All artists will be indoors, and admission is completely free. Come early, stay awhile, and help us celebrate five years of vinyl, music, art, and community!
