Event Info

Rocky Mountain Record Crawl

One Day. Multiple Record Stores. One Continuous Vinyl Circuit.

The Rocky Mountain Record Crawl is a guided bus circuit connecting independent record stores across the Front Range into a single, moving vinyl experience.

This is not a single-location event. It’s a continuous loop system designed for exploration, flexibility, and discovery across multiple stores in one day.

How the Bus System Works

The Crawl operates on a continuous loop of buses connecting all participating stores.

🔁 Important: You are not tied to one bus or one route

You are not required to stay on a single bus, and you are not limited in how long you stay at any stop.

You can:

  • Hop off at any store

  • Stay as long or as short as you like

  • Rejoin the circuit on any passing bus

  • Be dropped off by one bus and picked up by another

We recommend planning your route, but the system is designed to stay flexible throughout the day.

Event Schedule

  • Check-in begins: 11:00 AM (you must check in where you purchased tickets)

  • Buses begin departing: ~12:00 PM (Noon)

  • Bus service runs: 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Bus Timing & Frequency

  • Buses arrive at each location approximately every 15–30 minutes

  • Each stop has a brief loading/unloading window (around 15 minutes per arrival)

  • The full loop takes approximately 1+ hour to complete

This creates a constant flow of movement between all participating stores.

What to Expect at Each Stop

Each record store is an active part of the Crawl experience and will feature something unique, including:

Exclusive Crawl Offerings

Each store will feature curated selections and items specifically set aside for Crawl participants.

Promo Items

Every stop provides a unique collectible or promotional item available only during the event.

Optional In-Store Activations

Some locations may include:

  • DJ sets

  • live music

  • educational talks or short presentations

Recommended Experience Flow

While you are free to explore at your own pace, we recommend:

  • Hopping off at each stop at least briefly

  • Collecting that store’s promo item

  • Browsing their exclusive Crawl bins or featured selections

Each stop is designed to reward quick exploration, but deeper digging is always encouraged if time allows.

Key Things to Know

  • You are not guaranteed to end where you started

  • The buses operate in a continuous loop system

  • You can rejoin at any stop throughout the day

  • Each store visit is part of a larger circulating experience

The Experience

The Rocky Mountain Record Crawl is designed to feel like a moving record store festival, where each stop offers a different window into Colorado’s vinyl culture.

It’s not about completing a route—it’s about discovering what you find along the way.
