A Treasure Hunt with Over 200 Vendors

The event features a massive garage sale with approximately 400 booths and more than 200 vendors, making it one of the largest outdoor shopping events in the region.
Downtown Anacortes transforms into an open-air marketplace as the streets are closed to vehicle traffic, allowing visitors to stroll comfortably from booth to booth while discovering one-of-a-kind finds.

- Live music from local performers
