Great Townsite Garage Sale & all-new Townsite Day

- Kate Dryden

Townsite Day

Sat. July 16 | Garage Sales: 9 am-1 pm | Street Fair: 1 pm-5 pm

Building off of The Great Townsite Garage Sale Day, Townsite Day is a full day of fun and activities for the whole family, all around Townsite.

Start your day out by attending the many garage sales scattered around the neighbourhood. Find some cool treasures from other people’s attics, admire the gardens and houses, or just chit chat with the people – the garage sale is always a fun way to connect! If you ride your bike, you can use some of the newly maintained trails through the Old Golf Course.

Then, move down to the commercial heart of Townsite where you’ll find food, music, games, activities, and all sorts of fun for everyone! The streets at Walnut and Ash will be closed off for the afternoon. Check out the skateboarding station run by Townskate where you can get free instructional sessions for beginners or show off your skills (demo boards available – just bring a helmet!). You can also participate in The Amazing Race: Townsite Edition, enjoy the kids activities in Catnip’s Garden, and wander through the Townsite Market to see what all the vendors have on offer. There will also be a display with info on the proposed changes to the Townsite commercial core, so be sure to stop by and see all the exciting new ideas!

Get your fill of local food and coffee at any of the amazing food vendors, dance to some music, and wander up to The Patricia Theatre to see Canada’s oldest continuously operating theatre and check out a screening of American Graffiti, or grab a snack from their concession stand. Pop into Townsite Brewing to grab a drink, relax in their garden, and then pick up some dinner from That Chicken Place, Royal Zayka, or Convenient Chef to take home with you.
