Lafayette Citywide Garage Sale

It’s Lafayette’s first citywide garage sale, Saturday, Oct 6, 2018, all day, everywhere. Here’s how it works: If you're a seller, register the address of your garage sale online or by calling (925) 671-5813. Deadline to register online is Friday, October 5. To receive a lawn sign, you must register by Monday, October 1. A lawn sign will be brought to you by our sponsoring business. If you register after Monday, you may not receive a lawn sign. You may wish to advertise with additional street signs (not in public rights of way) and advertise online or in newspapers. Please take all signs down after your sale. Donate leftover items to our local thrift stores. Now, if you’re a buyer, you can browse the ads to find households taking part in the citywide garage sale. Start early but not before listed times. Experienced shoppers come early to find the best buys. Bring a reusable bag or a cart, which will allow you to carry heavier items more easily and to protect fragile objects. Everything you want to know is here. Have fun and clean out your junk!

“We are very impressed with your Chamber. We have been members of other Chambers over the years and it’s been nothing like the experiences we’re having right out of the gate with your organization. Thank you for your great communication, follow up, and professionalism.”
– Peter Dewey, Bayview Painting

“I couldn’t have asked for a better resource than the Chamber, as I was establishing my medical practice in Lafayette. AJ, Holly, and Sara were so responsive to my questions and gave me many ideas on networking in the community. They host several events that foster community building. I honestly cannot imagine a more robust, active, and friendly chamber as this. I’m a member for life!”
– Cheruba Prabakar, Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery

“WE LOVE THE CHAMBER! Batch and Brine has been a member of the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce for almost six years. We value and appreciate the incredible amount of work this organization produces for our community through many events and support for each business. The networking and education of information that’s spilled out weekly for the business community is impressive. They are a helping hand in so many ways for our business community and beyond. We couldn’t be part of this community without being part of the chamber. Lafayette Chamber is one of the best organizations we’ve worked with, so don’t think twice about it, join the Chamber!” – Rolla Ghaben, Batch & Brine

“The Chamber was instrumental in helping us open 14 years ago. The staff went out of their way to help us make connections and ensure we were successful. We would not be where we are today without the Chamber!”
– John & Colleen McCormick, Lamorinda Music
