You may purchase as many as 4 spaces. We will do our best to put all your purchased spaces together.

This event is pedestrian-only, and no cars will be permitted into the Garage Sale Zone (scroll to the bottom to see the event map). There will be designated parking areas for you to go after unloading your stuff. Drop-off will run from 6:45am to 7:45am, and all cars must be removed by 8:15am. There will be light refreshments available for sale, nearby restaurants/businesses, and food trucks will be arriving at 11:00am.
