Not only will you find great deals and unique items, you might even find some free items that people just want gone as we did last year.

The Great Grandview Garage Sale is a neighbourhood wide multi-family garage sale that takes place, as the name eludes. it takes place throughout the Grandview-Woodlands area of East Vancouver. Specifically from Broadway to the Burrard Inlet and from Clark Drive to Nanaimo Street. If you live in the area, you have lots of time to get organized and if you don’t live in the area, but know someone that does, consider pairing up with them and hosting a table/space in front of their place as many people did last year.  If you wish to participate in the event, you are invited to sign up for FREE online. This gets you a spot on the online map so people can find you.   Honestly, any wayfinding that lets people know where you are is a good idea. 

Whether you live in a home, walk up apartment building, co-operative housing, no matter, everyone is welcome to participate.   To sign up or see a map of the current locations, visit Great Grandview Garage Sale. 

Remember, the old adage “One person’s junk is another person’s treasure”.
