A New Chapter for Denver's Community-Wide Garage Sales
The Community-Wide Garage Sales are approaching! Destination Denver has had the pleasure of helping to organize and promote these sales in Denver over the last few years. As participation in the fall sales has declined and community members have successfully taken the lead in organizing the May sales, we will shift to online promotion only for the September 10–12, 2026 garage sales. Printed listings will no longer be offered.
To support and encourage community leadership in organizing the sales, Destination Denver will step back from coordinating future garage sales while continuing to promote the event. We are excited to offer free online-only listings to participants this fall and will continue focusing on downtown business growth, community initiatives, and events that help make the Mile Wide City a vibrant place to live, shop, and visit!
Free online garage sale registration and listings will be available beginning Saturday, August 15 at Destination Denver’s website. Listings and an interactive map will go live the week of the garage sales!
One-Week Move for the Farmers Market
The Denver Farmers Market is on the move for one week only! Due to preparations for Denver Break-Away Days, the market will relocate from Prestien Park to the Denver Elementary School parking lot on Thursday, August 13. Thank you to the Denver Community School District for providing a convenient location just a short distance from the market's temporary home at Prestien Park.
The market will return to Prestien Park on August 20 and continue to be held there while downtown roadwork is underway.
There will be plenty to enjoy at this week's market! Anna Love of Loony Balloonies will visit the Little Sprouts Corner with complimentary face painting and balloon art for the young and young-at-heart. Dragon Express will be the featured food truck, serving Chinese entrées and appetizers.
The Denver Farmers Market is held every Thursday from 4:30–6:30 PM. Shop local, enjoy dinner, and spend the evening supporting Denver's downtown businesses.
Stay up to date on weekly vendors, food trucks, activities, and other market happenings by following the Denver Farmers Market and Destination Denver Facebook pages.
