Community Wide Garage Sale

Murray’s Flea Market is excited to once again organize the Community-Wide Garage Sale in Carleton Place and Beckwith Township!The 9th annual event is scheduled to take place this year on Saturday, May 24th (most garage sales will start around 8am)!
How it works: we gather addresses of participating households within Carleton Place and Beckwith and keep them on our “master list”. Two days prior to the big day we will share this list with everyone so that you can all start planning your trip around for a fun day of garage sale hopping! The master list will be available online but also a printed copy will be handed out on Friday, May 23rd at the store (Murray’s Flea Market – 525 High Street).
If you would like to participate and get added to the master list, please send us a message with your address. **Please note: if you are planning on hosting a garage sale and you want to be included on the master list, you must let us know no later than 6pm on Wednesday. May 21st.
All advertising including a paid social media campaign and roadside signs are sponsored by Murray’s Flea Market. All you have to do is let us know you will hold a yard sale and we will take care of the rest! (please note – we will only post roadside signs advertising the community wide yard sale and where to get the master list – we will not supply roadside signs for each address participating). Any extra advertising you would like to do is up to your discretion.
Murray’s Flea Market will also be opening up their parking lot for a large outdoor garage sale for anyone who would like to set-up (free of charge of course).
