North Olmsted, Ohio – February 11, 2026 – Music lovers, collectors, and romantics alike are invited to celebrate Valentine’s Day the vinyl way at The Cleveland Record Riot: “Valentines and Vinyl,” taking place Saturday, February 14th at Great Northern Mall.
Presented by Record Riots, a Jersey City NJ–based organization that produces vinyl events in more than 25 cities across 8 states, this one-day record fair will bring together top independent dealers from across the region offering thousands of LPs, 45s, CDs, tapes, and music memorabilia. Attendees can dig through crates spanning rock, soul, jazz, blues, hip-hop, funk, and modern indie—perfect for collectors, casual fans, and gift-givers searching for something truly special.
The event will be held inside the mall across from Victoria’s Secret, creating a vibrant, accessible pop-up marketplace in the heart of Great Northern. Doors open to the public from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a special early bird admission at 10:00 AM for serious crate diggers. General admission is $5, and early admission is $15.
Promoter Stephen Gritzan says the spirit of the Record Riot goes far beyond buying and selling records, “Everyone has a strong connection to the music in their lives, revealing singular tales involving memory, romance, and storytelling. “Valentines and Vinyl” is a chance for people to connect away from their computers and smartphones—with music, with each other, and with the thrill of finding that record or compact disc they’ve been hunting for. It’s equal parts marketplace and the communal celebration of music. We’re extremely excited to be partnering with Great Northern, a long-standing popular mall in Greater Cleveland and look forward to another fun Record Riot.”
Whether you’re hunting for rare pressings, flipping through bargain bins, or simply soaking in the culture of analog music, “Valentines and Vinyl” promises a fun, welcoming atmosphere for all ages.
“Great Northern is becoming synonymous with pop culture and nostalgia and when Stephen said yes to bringing two vinyl shows in 2026, we knew this would be a win-win,” said Dan Crandall, Marketing and Business Development Manager at Great Northern Mall. “Each holiday season we see more retailers selling record players, now guests can hunt and find new additions to their collections.”
