About the sales
For 35 years, North Liberty held its citywide garage sales in conjunction with the city’s annual Fun Days, the second weekend in June. In 2014, citing a weakened bottom line, the planning committee canceled Fun Days indefinitely.
The loss of Fun Days was disappointing, but more upsetting was the loss of the citywide garage sales—the highlight of the weekend for many.
Local resident Lydia Fine had been a shopper at the sales in the past and saw the opportunity to modernize the Garage Sale List by incorporating technology. Fine volunteered to coordinate the garage sale list in 2015, and managed the event through 2021.
In 2022, local resident Allison Strickland took over coordination of the garage sale weekend.
Since 2015, the sales have grown and the organization of the event has gotten more sophisticated. The first year, sales were Saturday only. Year two expanded to include Thursday and Friday. Citywide Garage Sales now encompasses three days of bargain-hunting nirvana, with an interactive Google Map, downloadable lists by day, and a customizable Excel list for the super-planners out there.
If you’re interested in partnering with the citywide garage sales, have a question or suggestion, or just want to say “Hey neighbors, nice work!”, email the coordinators.
Donate to the cause
Organizing over 200 garage sales on a single weekend is a big undertaking, and it grows every year. More tools for shoppers, better tools for sellers, an informative and easy-to-use website… they all mean time and money. We’d be grateful for any amount you’re willing to donate, to help us cover our costs and ensure the garage sales keep happening year after year. Thanks so much.
