  • There will be NO CHARGE to register and host a garage sale.
  • Provide your address and a brief description of your sale.
  • New this year: you can indicate whether your sale will be on Saturday (6/1) only or if you would like to add the optional day of Friday (5/31). Maps will be coded to indicate which sales are one day only and which ones are two-day.
