The annual citywide garage sale in Sturgeon Bay returns June 5–6, giving residents and visitors an early-summer opportunity to hunt for bargains while taking part in one of the community’s longest-standing traditions.

The two-day event will feature sales hosted by residents across the city, with shoppers expected to travel neighborhood to neighborhood, from Memorial Drive to Neenah Avenue,  in search of deals. District 4 Alderman Spencer Gustafson says the event continues to be a popular way for households to declutter, earn extra income and connect with neighbors.

He encourages residents to take advantage of the event, noting its unique draw in a tourist-heavy region.

“Folks that have things they want to sell at their home have a unique opportunity, especially in an area like ours,” Gustafson said. “I think if you are having a garage sale in Door County, it is a lot easier to sell things than in other areas, mainly because of all the visitors to the peninsula.”

Residents who want to host a sale must register by Wednesday, May 6. The $8 registration fee helps cover the cost of printing official maps that list participating locations and guide shoppers throughout the city.

“You have until May 6 to register, get your information in as soon as possible,” Gustafson said.

Registration forms are available at the Municipal Services Office on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., as well as online through the city’s website.

An official map and directory of participating sales will be released ahead of the event, helping visitors plan their routes and maximize their time during the two-day sale.

Alderman Gustafson encourages anyone with questions to contact Sturgeon Bay City Hall for additional details.
