Blaine Garage Sales

A message from the City of Blaine

We know that one of the many great things about being a part of the Blaine community is the annual Johnsville neighborhood garage sale event in May. However, we are asking residents not to hold any garage sales until it is safe for us to gather again in groups outside of our immediate families. We know that these are difficult times for many and that this long-standing event is important in many ways but the safety of our community is of the upmost importance. We ask that in the interest of public health you refrain from holding any garage sales until it has been deemed safe to gather again. We look forward to continuing to be stronger together.

If you have any questions or would like to have further conversations about this topic please send an email to Communications@BlaineMN.gov or send a private message to the City of Blaine, MN, Government on Facebook.

Blaine - Johnsville Neighborhood Garage Sales

Hi neighbors and shoppers. Unfortunately, we are no longer going to be organizing the sales. It has been brought to our attention that there is a huge liability risk involved with this being an organized event. This large event would now require a Special Event License, which among many other requirements would require liability insurance for the entire neighborhood. We can’t afford that, so we will step down from organizing it which includes among other things: maps, signs, port-a-potties, advertising, the Facebook page, and the website. It was a lot of fun coordinating it, thanks everyone!
