Doors open at midday, entry is free.

With a Ho Ho Ho and a fistful of records. Yep, that jolly day of present giving is racing upon us, so what better time of year to have a record fair than December. Crate Digger Record Fair returns to Yah Yah’s on SUNDAY 4th December for what is going to be our biggest fair of the year. With more than double the number of stalls booked for thelast fair, crate digging punters are sure to find more than their Christmas budget will allow. Come stuff your stocking with some of the best wax available from our stallholders who are selling a mixture of private collections and retail stock. The only inner-Melbourne record fair just got a whole lot bigger. The record fair will be once again be joining forces with the Hello Sailor vintage fair, so if you fancy some lovely vintage wares, a smashing 50’s frock or that elusive pair of Cuban heeled cowboy boots Also, it’s worth noting that PBS have emptied the vault and will be selling a couple of thousand items. Hmmm, sounds like Christmas is coming early this year. See you there record junkies.
