The Bloomingdale Neighborhood Association will host its annual communitywide garage sale on Saturday, Sept. 12, giving residents throughout Bloomingdale an opportunity to clear out unused items while neighbors shop sales across the community.

The garage sale will take place throughout BNA neighborhoods, with participating sellers hosting sales at their individual homes. A list of participating sellers and their addresses will be posted on the BNA Facebook page ahead of the event, allowing shoppers to plan their stops throughout the community.

To help bring shoppers into participating neighborhoods, the BNA will place a limited number of smaller directional signs near neighborhood entrances and surrounding areas. Residents who would like the BNA to place signage outside their neighborhood entrance should email their address to bl.neighbor1@gmail.com no later than Sept. 5.

The BNA-provided signs are intended to direct shoppers toward participating areas rather than individual homes. Sellers who would like additional or more prominent signage directing customers specifically to their sale are responsible for providing and placing their own signs.

The annual event provides an opportunity for residents to shop within their own community, meet neighbors and give unwanted household items a new home.
