Recapping the 2023 Big Bethlehem Yard Sale

The first-ever “Big Bethlehem Yard Sale” in 2023 was a success! 35 yard sales sprawled across the town, over 350 registered shoppers from across the Capital Region attended…and over $2800 was raised for 16 local nonprofits and charities!

The first-ever “Big Bethlehem Yard Sale” in 2023 was a success! An impressive collection of 35 yard sales sprawled across the town, transforming the town into a bustling marketplace that lured over 350 registered shoppers from across the Capital Region.

From vintage furniture and collectible items to books, toys, and clothing, every yard sale offered its unique array of treasures. It was a fantastic opportunity for local homeowners connect with their community and “clear clutter for a good cause!”

The 2023 event successfully raised over $2,800 for local 16 non-profits and charities. This accomplishment is not only a testament to the generosity of the Bethlehem community but also a shining example of how a small town can make a big difference.

The overwhelming response and success of the inaugural Big Bethlehem Yard Sale has left the organizers, participants, and shoppers eagerly anticipating the next event. We are excited to announce that the 2nd annual Big Bethlehem Yard Sale is scheduled for Saturday, May 4, 2024.

The Big Bethlehem Yard Sale is a celebration of community spirit and generosity. We hope to see this event grow, connecting more people and supporting more local causes. Here's to another successful yard sale!
