The first Record Riot took place in Brooklyn, New York, in 2008, but its organizers have since hosted popups in multiple cities — including Frederick. On Jan. 21, Record Riot will be at the Frederick Fairgrounds inside Building 13. Early admission is $15 at 9 a.m., and regular admission is $5 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Shop CDs, LPs, 45s and music memorabilia till you heart’s content. In related news, The Record Exchange is gearing up to reopen in the next few weeks at its new location, 410 N. Market St. in downtown Frederick, after water damage from a fire destroyed its original Frederick location last summer. Connect with the beloved record store via social media for the latest updates.
GET A TASTE OF THE NEW 7TH STREET CAFE

In its new iteration, it has drawn crowds from Frederick Community College, Frederick Health hospital and Fort Detrick, quickly solidifying its reputation as a go-to spot for not just sandwiches but drinks and community.
