5 Things to Expect from the Ashmont Hill Yard Sale – May 18th

A sign of spring in the neighborhood! It’s the Ashmont Hill Yard Sale. Over 40 homes are expected to participate in this annual event that takes place on Saturday, May 18th from 9am-2pm.  Here are 5 Things You Can Expect!

Happy + Thankful People

This year will be the 44th anniversary of the yard sale!  Mix and mingle with friends + neighbors while you do a little shopping! What a beautiful neighborhood!

Maps

There will be handy-dandy maps located at all participating yards!  The sale begins at the corners of Alban or Ocean streets off of Welles Ave.

Treasures

You know the old saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Plan to hunt and gather your way through the neighborhood and expect anything from vintage tableware, furniture, books, sporting equipment, artwork, and more. You never know what you’ll find, but it might be exactly what you are looking for!  Bring cash – most sellers are cash only!

Snacks

If you’re hungry, you can find some food set up outside the Ashmont Nursery School, like burgers, hot dogs, baked goods, and drinks! And don’t forget about Mae Graves’ legendary ribs and chicken on Harley Street. 

Neighborhood Pride

For over 40 years, residents in this neighborhood have participated in this beloved annual event. It’s a perfect opportunity to showcase the beauty of the neighborhood, including gorgeous Victorian homes, rolling hills, and colorful landscapes. Take it all in!

Wear comfortable shoes, and don’t forget to bring some tote bags for all the treasures you’ll find. Tag us in your photos on social media #caughtindot
