Grote Noord, Hoorn

Record & CD Fair Hoorn is an annual open-air record fair in the historic heart of Hoorn. For Record Planet, this event has special meaning: Hoorn is where the story began—one that later grew into the world’s largest record fair in ’s-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch). During this edition, the characteristic shopping street Grote Noord turns into a lively meeting place for music lovers, vinyl collectors, and visitors who enjoy browsing stalls filled with music. Building on a long tradition, the fair has become a fixed summer highlight in Hoorn.

Vinyl, CDs and music memorabilia

Along Grote Noord, dealers from the Netherlands and other European countries present a varied selection of LPs, singles, and CDs. From rare gems and timeless classics to surprising finds across many genres, every edition offers plenty of opportunities to discover new music.
The open-air setting creates a relaxed atmosphere where visitors can take their time flipping through crates and chatting with dealers and fellow music lovers.

For music lovers and collectors

Record & CD Fair Hoorn is open to everyone. Thanks to its approachable setup and broad selection, the fair appeals both to experienced collectors and to visitors who simply enjoy looking around and being pleasantly surprised.
With free admission, there’s also more room to invest in that one record that completes your collection—without having to dig too deep into your pocket.

Location and atmosphere

The fair takes place on Grote Noord, one of the best-known streets in Hoorn’s city centre. Historic façades, shops, and terraces provide the backdrop for a summery day of music and discovery.
Hoorn lies on the IJsselmeer, making it easy to combine a visit to the record fair with a day out in town. After browsing the stalls, it’s perfect to relax on a terrace or end the day with dinner in the city centre.
