Village of Westmont
Date Issued: July 19, 2017
“We always listen to the feedback from our residents,” says Larry McIntyre, Westmont Communications Director. “A number of people have asked us if we could extend the community garage sale for another day, so this year we’re adding a Sunday option. This event is a great opportunity for people to buy and sell items that still have value rather than throwing them in the trash.”
Since 1996, the Village has organized a Community-Wide Garage Sale event, which encourages residents to hold their garage sales during the same weekend to bring out the bargain hunters en masse. The event is coordinated by the Village of Westmont and the Westmont Special Events Corporation (WSEC). This year’s event will be held Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, August 4, 5 & 6. Garage sales will be held between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. No garage sale permit is necessary for this specific event on these dates.

Participants are encouraged to promote their individual sales. Additionally, the Village of Westmont and Westmont Special Events will publicize this event on the Village Website and social media as well as have printed copies of the sale addresses available at the Village Hall, Park District, Westmont Library, and Westmont Special Events Office at Westmont Centre, 1 S. Cass.
