Last side of the record, and it's a good one. The crates are back on the Grote Markt for one more round of digging, and there's plenty left to hear before the needle lifts for this year.

Remember when we said no markets yet? Well, the crates are out. Get your morning coffee with the Crate Diggers' Coffee at the Grote Markt and start digging on the Record Fair for the morning, then follow the needle all the way to Dimitri's three-hour all-vinyl set at night.

Tickets and the Weekend Pass are available here. Pick up your wristband at the Ticket & Info Desk at PHIL from 11:00.

No markets yet, but there's plenty of program to enjoy around town. Visit PHIL for the final bits of Making Vinyl and the start of our listening program, or be there at 16:00 when Mykaell Riley opens the festival with his keynote. Once the evening kicks in, the needle keeps moving all over Haarlem until four in the morning.

Short on cash? Planning to spend it all on records? Just like previous years we've got plenty of free program to enjoy, with the Record Fair at Grote Markt taking centre stage. The festival is a great excuse to explore neighbourhoods you haven't been to yet, discover venues you didn't know existed, and bump into people who love music as much as you do. Haarlem is a small city that reveals itself slowly. This is a pretty good way to speed that up. Let us break it down for you.

The Free Route is made possible by our founding partners: Record Industry, InHolland, Patronaat and PHIL and all our community and program partners.

Haarlem Vinyl Festival starts this Friday, and the day program has grown quite a bit over the past few weeks. Here are some of the latest additions you might have missed.

Haarlem Vinyl Festival starts this Friday, and with more than 30 locations across the city, nobody gets to see it all. Here are 12 performances worth planning your weekend around, from a home game at PHIL to cumbia in a Skatepark.

There is plenty to do this weekend besides listen. 12 programs where you actually pick something up, from the floor of a pressing plant to a pair of Technics, with someone on hand to fix your turntable while you are at it.

Hip hop is built on memory. A break pulled from another record. A bar answering one written twenty years earlier. A story passed down, flipped, exaggerated, challenged and told again.

Across Haarlem Vinyl Festival, that cycle runs through the weekend: from vinyl culture and the records behind the music to thirty years of hip-hop history, landmark albums and the artists pushing Dutch hip-hop forward right now.
