The Sunset Strip is getting a retro remix this summer, and it’s spinning all the right tracks.
On Saturday, August 16 from 1 PM to 7 PM, Spinning Sunset: A Vinyl Wax Fair is taking over the iconic boulevard with a special one-day celebration of L.A.’s legendary music scene. And the best part is that it’s totally free to attend!
Set against the backdrop of The Pink Dot parking lot, Spinning Sunset is bringing crate-diggers, audiophiles, and vintage lovers together for a daytime vinyl market that hits all the right notes. Expect a curated lineup of local record stores, vintage vendors, exclusive band merch, and all-vinyl DJ sets to keep the energy high from afternoon to golden hour.
Surrounding businesses along The Strip will be getting in on the action too, with vinyl-themed specials, pop-ups, and promos, turning this storied stretch of Sunset into a living, breathing tribute to the artists who made it legendary. Janis, Jim, Stevie, and the spirits of rock ‘n’ roll will be echoing down the boulevard.
Spinning Sunset is the signature moment of Summer on Sunset, a season-long celebration spotlighting travel deals, rooftop views, hotel escapes, and that undeniable magic The Strip delivers like nowhere else.
