Community

██████████████████████

Communities thrive when we get to know and support our neighbors. We love larger city-wide events like HONK! and Porchfest, but we also want to foster regular neighborhood events. From yard sales to kickball tournaments to pizza parties, the DSNC aims to bring neighbors together.

Davis Square Community Yard Sale

Have you been meaning to clean out your closet? Or are you new to the area and looking for home goods?

DSNC and the City of Somerville invite you to participate in the inaugural Davis Square Community Yard Sale on Sunday, October 4th! Please register to participate.

Event Details:

🗓️ DATE: UPDATE - Due to the anticipated storm, the yard sale will now take place on Sunday, October 4th.
🕐 TIMING: Sale will run from 1-5 pm, with an hour before/afterwards for set-up/ cleanup.
✅ ELIGIBILITY: Sellers must live within DSNC neighborhood boundaries, marked in RED on this map.
📍 SALE LOCATIONS: Sellers can host sales in front of their homes -- in their yard, driveway, or sidewalk (without blocking pedestrians). But if you do not have outdoor space, you can hold your sale at a complimentary table in Statue Park. Tables reservations are available on a first-come first-served basis.
📣 PUBLICITY: All yard sales will be added to a master map based on input below. Hopefully by advertising together we'll bring more foot traffic. But feel free to put up your own signs too.
💸 PROCEEDS: You keep all proceeds from your sale. But donations to DSNC are welcome!
📧 QUESTIONS: Please contact DSNC-Programming@googlegroups.com.
