Waterloo Records is moving … five blocks up the road. When the lot at Sixth and Lamar sold in 2019, it seemed Austin would lose one of its most beloved musical treasures to its relentless gentrification runaway train. Thanks to a deal between founder John Kunz, Gold Rush Vinyl founder Caren Kelleher, and former Gold Rush investor Trey Watson, the record store isn’t going away – or even downgrading to a smaller, less centralized location, as the tale usually goes. 1105 North Lamar gives Waterloo more space, better parking, and more innovations, which the team debuts to the public at this all-day event. DJs, food trucks, and hourly giveaways celebrate the preservation of an Austin institution. – Carys Anderson
