What’s better than sipping coffee while perusing a Saturday morning garage sale? Doing so while knowing you’ve got a full day of treasure hunting ahead!

Summit Hill, Highland Park, and Mac-Groveland are teaming up to host the Great Neighborhood Garage Sale from 9am - 3pm on Friday, June 12 & Saturday, June 13. Households across these neighborhoods will be be participating, featuring items from clothing to books to furniture. Stop by to meet your neighbors and shop sustainably. You never know what you might find!

Interested in adding your garage sale to the map? Register by May 29! Fill out this form and pay the registration fee.

How to Participate

The fee to participate is $25 for single households and $30 for businesses, which pays for printing, advertising, signage, and to support neighborhood programming. Complete your registration by May 29.

PLAN FOR YOUR SALE

The Great Neighborhood Garage Sale is scheduled for Friday, June 12 & Saturday, June 13. You can opt to host your sale on both days or just one. Then, start organizing your junk – someone else’s treasures! Determine which items are usable and sellable and label them with a price. Figure out how you’ll display the deals and borrow some tables if needed. Plan for supervising the sale and for keeping track of your earnings.

MEANWHILE…

We will create a map of neighborhood sales, which will be posted online. The Great Garage Sale will also be advertised in Craigslist, the Villager, Star Tribune, and Pioneer Press newspapers. We will create a sign for your sale, too, which will be distributed throughout the week leading up to the sale.

GET READY, GET SET, SELL!

Post your Great Garage Sale sign in your yard and be ready to sell on Friday, June 12 and Saturday, June 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.! Plant yourself in the sun (hopefully) and offer some deals to those who treasure your junk (definitely). At the end of the day, pull up the sign and save the leftovers to bring to the Fall Citywide Drop-off Event.

Come and join the Summit Hill Association at Spring Fling! There will be games, music, info tables, and more.
