SUMMARY:Uptown Record Fair 2026
DESCRIPTION:In loving memory of Tom Burgess\nUptown Record Fair is back for its third year with specialty sale items from the Recirculation archives, plus over eight record vendors, six vinyl DJs, and more.\nFans of Recirculation already know that when the project first opened, it was stocked to the rafters with not only the thousands of books collected by our late friend and volunteer Tom Burgess–but also by his records. His collection was so vast that even after distributing large donations to music non-profits, per Tom’s wishes, we still had enough left over to maintain a whole music section in the store. Along the way, volunteers have set aside scores of specialty items, which will make up the core of the Recirculation booth at the Uptown Record Fair. \nWe’re collecting vinyl donations for the fair! Your donation will go towards keeping the lights on at Recirculation. Donations are tax-deductible. Please email recirculation@wordupbooks.com for more information. \nBut it won’t just be us! We will have over eight vendors join us, setting up tables to offer goods across the musical spectrum–jazz, rock, hip-hop, blues, experimental, you name it. \nProviding the soundtrack to the day will be vinyl-centric DJs from uptown and beyond, including a special set culled from Tom Burgess’ collection. \nDJ Lineup: Amanda Nazario, Delaceiba, Woof, Eli Efi, Uptown Vinyl Supreme, Amiri Mikel\nThis is a fundraiser for Recirculation. A $5-10 suggested donation is encouraged for entry, but not required.\nIn compliance with Word Up Community Safety guidelines, all attendees are encouraged to stay masked at all times. \nRecirculation, a project of Word Up Community Bookshop, is located at 876 Riverside Drive (near 160th St.) in Washington Heights, NYC. You can take the 1 train to 157th St., A/C train to 163rd St., and the M4 and M5 to Broadway and 159/160th.\nWord Up Community Bookshop/Librería Comunitaria, on Amsterdam Ave and 165th Street, is a multilingual, collectively operated bookshop and arts space, committed to co-creating a place where residents support each other to live informed and expressive lives. Recirculation is a project operated by Word Up. It was founded when former longtime Word Up volunteer Tom Burgess passed away from COVID-19 in June 2020, and is rooted in his collection of books and records gathered over the years. Most of the items are available for shoppers on a pay-what-you-can basis, and the space is often used for Word Up programming and other community events. \nWORD UP COMMUNITY SAFETY GUIDELINES\nCANCELLATION POLICY: Word Up Community Bookshop reserves the right to cancel events for any reason, including but not limited to safety concerns.\nCODE OF CONDUCT: Please note Word Up has a zero tolerance policy for harassment or intimidation of any kind during any event, virtual or in-person.
