What
is the Yard Sale?
The Yard Sale is the West 104th
Street Block Association’s annual block party, celebrating life on our
block and in our Bloomingdale neighborhood. It's also our major
fundraiser, providing around 20 percent of our annual budget. The party features
a silent auction, live music, home
cooked food, and more than 60 local vendors selling everything from household items, toys,
and clothing to furniture, antiques, and jewelry.
