Town Wide Yard Sales in Ontario

Shaw Valley neighbourhood in St Thomas is having a community yard sale Saturday, September 5. Should be approx 25 participants.

This weekend in Sarnia.

Another one for Saturday August 15, in Ilderton. So that makes 3, which is great... THAMESFORD, ILDERTON and TALBOT TRAIL. See previous posts for more info. Have fun!

Talbot Trail of Yard Sales takes place this Saturday, August 15. Please keep in mind with every date this year, it’s likely there are less sales than usual, due to more people taking precautions with health safety. As always, when you travel a distance for yard sales, try to plan other things to do in the area. There’s no shortage of great local shops and restaurants in this area! See comment section for more details. If anyone can provide further details, including list of towns participating, or a good route to take, that would be helpful.

For those of you asking, YES, Thamesford is having their Town Wide Yard Sale this Saturday, August 15. See their event page here: https://facebook.com/events/s/thamesford-community-wide-yard/341446000568367/?ti=icl

There is a Town Wide Yard Sale happening today and tomorrow July 31 & Aug 1 in Drayton/Mapleton/Alma/Moorefield and surrounding area. Also, a few have mentioned that St. George is a go for tomorrow Aug 1, although I don’t have confirmation. Feel free to comment below if you can confirm. And don’t forget Bothwell is having theirs on the holiday Monday, August 3.

Another Town Wide Yard Sale to announce! BOTHWELL will be having theirs this Monday, August 3rd (they always have it on Civic Holiday). Keep in mind that there may be fewer sales than usual, and please remember to keep a safe distance or wear a mask. Enjoy!

Another one to report! WALLACEBURG is having a Town Wide Yard Sale this Saturday, June 27. As far as I know, there is no Facebook page with addresses listed (so no way to tell how many sales) but the local paper did publish a story confirming the date, so I thought I’d pass it along. https://www.google.ca//town-wide-yard-sale-set-for-jun/amp

I’ve had a lot of people asking, but nobody confirming dates of Town Wide Yard Sales yet... but it looks like at least ONE is a go this weekend (June 13) in Wheatley! It may be smaller than usual, but if you read the comments, you’ll see plenty of people are participating. Enjoy!

As most of you would’ve guessed by now, many Town Wide Yard Sales won’t be happening this year. The late April and early May ones especially- but I suspect even through June we will be strongly encouraged to keep physically distancing from each other. If and when anything changes and it seems like this sort of event will be allowed, I’ll be sure to post the remaining dates. Take care and stay safe everyone!

For those of you that are involved in the organizing or advertising of a Town Wide Yard Sale... Please consider adding a Facebook Page or Event for your town this year. It's such a helpful reference. I get a lot of inquiries like "how do I participate in my town?" but there is no official contact, so a Facebook page would allow anyone in your town to find your date and add their location/info. A Facebook page also allows bargain hunters to look up addresses on their mobile device while in town for the sales. A few towns are doing this, even posting photos of their treasures on the day of sale... very helpful & I'd highly recommend it.

Feel free to send me your poster or event link for an Indoor Garage Sale that is happening in March to mid-April. Town Wide Yard Sales may not start til the last weekend of April, but we can still enjoy some good indoor sales until then.

Just a few more weeks...
