TINLEY PARK, IL — Soundgrowler Brewing in Tinley Park is turning up the volume for the fourth annual Vinyl Market this Saturday, Nov. 8, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Responding to overwhelming community enthusiasm and vendor demand, the brewery is opening part of its back production space to nearly double the number of artists and vinyl vendors featured last year—bringing a total of 39 curated vendors to the fan-favorite event.

Located at 8201 183rd St., Soundgrowler will welcome vinyl collectors, music enthusiasts, and artisan market fans for a one-day only celebration of vinyl culture, handmade goods, food, and craft beer. With a significantly expanded footprint for vinyl tables, guests will find more rare records, specialty presses, and collector gems than ever before.

“As soon as last year’s event ended, patrons told us they wanted even more vinyl—and we listened,” said John Streetz, curator of the market and founder of the Streetz Artz Alliance. “We’ve brought in exciting new record vendors while keeping the beloved artists and food makers our markets are known for. The Vinyl Market has grown into a celebration of music, creativity, and community—and this is our biggest and best year yet.”
