ALABASTER – Alabaster residents will have the opportunity to browse a variety of items sold by their neighbors during the city’s annual City Wide Spring Yard Sale.

The Alabaster Spring City Wide Yard Sale will take place on Saturday, April 26 from 8 a.m. to noon at Veterans Park at 7305 Highway 119, Alabaster, AL 35007.

“We’re excited to host the City Wide Yard Sale,” said Morgan Lawley, Alabaster community programs manager. “It’s a time that residents can do some spring cleaning around the house and come out and fellowship with local residents.”

Each year, Alabaster hosts two citywide yard sales with one held in the spring and another held in the fall.

“This is a great event our Parks and Recreation department organizes twice a year, and we always have a good turnout,” Public Relations Manager Neal Wagner said. “It’s a good opportunity for residents to enjoy the spring weather while meeting neighbors and getting some great deals.”

During the event, there will be more than 70 booths spread across the park featuring a variety of items for purchase including, toys, clothing, tools, antiques, jewelry, sporting goods, books, camping gear, craft supplies, furniture, appliances and more.

“This will be the third one at Veterans Park and they’ve been bigger each time,” Lawley said.

In addition to vendor booths, the city is currently planning on having a limited selection of food trucks present at the event which are currently listed as “to be announced.”

In the event of inclement weather, the spring yard sale will be delayed to Saturday, May 3. Those wishing to check the rain-out status may call 205-378-4055.

With Veterans Park having the capacity to support more than 100 booths at the event, Parks and Recreation is accepting registrants through Saturday, April 19 at 11 p.m. The price is $10 per a 20 by 20 booth and vendors must supply their own tables, chairs and canopies.

“What people love to do is to drive through their booth and unload out of the back of their car, then their car can stay there the whole time,” Lawley said.

The city plans on having a charitable organization present to collect any items left over after the conclusion of the yard sale that vendors wish to dispose of.
