Village of Westmont
Date Issued: August 5, 2015
Each year, the Village of Westmont and the Westmont Special Events Corporation (WSEC) organize a Community-Wide Garage Sales event, which encourages residents to hold their garage sales during the same weekend to bring out the bargain hunters en masse. This year’s event will be held Friday & Saturday, August 7 & 8. Most garage sales will be held both days from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. No garage sale permit is necessary for this specific event on these dates.
“Once again, we have over 100 participants hosting garage sales during the weekend,” says Westmont Communications Director Larry McIntyre. “This is a great chance for people to find some bargains, and at the same time, prevent items that still have value from being thrown away and sent to a landfill. Garage sales are very eco-friendly.”
A PDF list of all the garage sale participants including items for sale can be downloaded from the Village Website:

Printed copies of the sale addresses are available at the Village Hall, Park District, Westmont Library, and Westmont Special Events Office at Westmont Centre, 1 S. Cass. Participants are encouraged to promote their sales individually as well.
