All about the Yard Sale
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.
When and where is it?
The 2010 Yard Sale -- our 21st consecutive
annual -- will take place Saturday, September 25 (rain date
September 26). It starts at 10:00 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m.
The party is held outdoors on 104th Street
between West End Ave. and Riverside Dr.
