The Arlington Civitan Club begins the 2008 Garage Sale season on April 5th 2008 and continues on the first Saturday of each Month April through November.
This marks the beginning of our 22nd year sponsoring these special garage sale events. The sale now attracts between 110-150 vendors and up to 2,000 buyers/consumers attend each month.
~270-spaces are available - with ~60 "open air" and the rest are covered parking inside the garage.
These are early sales opening for business at 7:00 AM to be ready for sale at 7:00 a.m. or you might miss opportunities for sales Sale events are held “rain or shine” in the parking garage that stretches over I-66 & N. Quincy Street in Arlington. Access to the garage is from N. 15th Street near N. Quincy Street / another entry is at Stafford Street
Vendors are welcome inside the parking garage after 5:00 PM Friday evening prior to the Saturday sale. Due to ever evolving construction activity schedules - during April-May-June 2008 - expect some fairly remarkable changes! Changes since 2007: - New lighting fixtures were installed in ceilings inside garage and exterior standards and fixtures are in progress in outside spaces
- The parking area between the back of the "white" admin building and the garage level "F" is gone - no access to the admin building
- Additional portable toilets will be necessary in April and maybe beyond --- help

SPECIAL NOTICE TO OUR VENDORS The Arlington Civitans invite you join us in making this 2007 Community Garage Sale season another successful season. The garage at which the sale is held is a public parking facility. Please comply with the rules of the event.
As noted, setup time can begin only after 5:00 p.m. on Friday (the day prior). In practice, the garage takes time to empty on Friday. Some spaces will not be available until later than 5:00 p.m. - when those who park in the garage during the day. Expect some Arlington County cars to be left in spaces overnight! .
Please help us maintain good community relations - by occupying no more than one parking space prior to 5:00 pm on the Friday before the event - if you come early to incubate your spaces.
Remember too, you must remain with your belongings at all times through Friday evening, once you begin set-up.
Merely marking your space "RESERVED" and leaving it overnight will NOT guarantee you having that space. The Civitan Community Garage sale activity and jurisdiction for “vendor set-up” does not begin prior to 5:00 AM on Saturday (the day of the event) - so please, if you have a legitimate dispute on any of these provisions, contact the Arlington Police Department to handle emergencies prior to that time at (703) 558-2222 – and parking enforcement at (703) 228-4308.
Vendors are prohibited from selling plants, food or beverages. Please keep pornography or non-family oriented items - in your displays - out of children's view.

Arlington Civitan Club is assisted by the Tysons Civitan Club - who meets at noon on the second and fourth Tuesday at Clyde's Restaurant located in Tyson's Corner Virginia - and by the Arlington Jaycees.
Tyson's Civitan Club members are our top sales persons at the "snack bar" for the last four years! They have also performed tasks including "vendor collection", cashiering, popcorn-making and are performing more and more tasks.
Arlington Jaycees began assisting Civitan - during the November 2005 to assist with vendor services, public safety and other important tasks. Our Arlington County Liaisons: For many years Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources was Civitan's liaison - then when Debbie Powers moved to the Emergency Management Department she continued in that role. Beginning with the 2008 season we welcome Randy Randolph and Robin Leonard and the PCRC team who has taken over the liaison role. |
