Garage Sale

Maine Township's 20th annual 80-family Community Garage Sale will be held, rain or shine, on September 19, 2026 from 9 am – 3 pm in the parking lot of Maine Township Town Hall, 1700 Ballard Road, Park Ridge. Space reservations for Maine Township residents will be accepted beginning August 3, 2026 at 9 am and on August 10, 2026 at 9 am for all others. Spaces are sold on a first-come, first-served basis and always sell out quickly. Vendors can conveniently reserve and pay for their space(s) online with a credit/debit card or eCheck. No processing fees will be charged.

All shoppers can register to win a child's bicycle that will be given away. Free coffee will be provided courtesy of Maine Township Supervisor Kimberly Jones, and donuts and lunch items will be available to purchase. Don't miss this popular event filled with bargains and fun for the whole family!

This event is organized by the MaineStay Youth & Family Services Department of Maine Township.

All proceeds from the event benefit the Adventure Maine Township Summer Camp. This camp program, coordinated by the Township’s MaineStay division since 2004, provides at-risk youth who qualify based on family income the opportunity to participate in safe, fun, and educational experiences to which they may not otherwise have access.
