Fall is the perfect time to make space, find hidden gems, and enjoy the cooler weather — and in Williamsburg Colony, that means one thing: garage sale season.

The Williamsburg Colony Fall Community-Wide Garage Sale is happening Saturday, October 11, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., offering residents a chance to clear out their homes, connect with neighbors, and maybe even score a few unexpected treasures. Whether you’re a seller, a shopper, or just want to enjoy a friendly Saturday morning in the neighborhood, this semiannual tradition is a great way to participate in the community spirit.

Why Join In?

For homeowners, the fall garage sale is an opportunity to let go of unused items and make room before the holidays. From kids’ clothes and toys to home décor and small appliances, your castoffs might just be someone else’s treasure.

For bargain hunters and community shoppers, this is the weekend to stroll the neighborhood in search of gently-used finds at friendly, neighborly prices. Plus, you’ll be supporting local families and reducing waste — all while enjoying the crisp fall air.

Pro Tips for Sellers

• Start organizing early: Begin setting aside items to sell at least a week in advance.
• Price to sell: Use painter’s tape or stickers and keep prices simple — whole dollars or 25-cent increments work best.
• Be ready for early birds: Some shoppers arrive before 8:00 a.m., so be prepared and set up early.
• Advertise your spot: Post your address and list of key items on neighborhood apps like Nextdoor or social media garage sale groups.
• Have small bills and change: Be ready with plenty of ones and quarters.
• Group similar items: Make it easy for buyers to browse by setting up themed sections (kids, kitchen, clothes, etc.).
• Donate leftovers: Pack up unsold items and arrange a donation pick-up or drop-off at your favorite charity.

For Buyers

• Bring cash and small bills: Most sellers won’t have change for big bills.
• Arrive early: The best finds often go fast!
• Bring a tote or small cart: You never know what treasures you’ll want to haul home.
• Be polite and friendly: This is a community event — let’s keep it neighborly.
