Kalamazoo, Michigan
<9:30am-4pm
Why go to Kalamazoo in February??? Join us in celebrating out 19th year of garage sale fun!
We have eager customers looking for markdowns, seconds and great deals on artwork. In 2014 we had 3,500 people come through our doors. They're lined up early, waiting for us to open and for the buying to begin.
No need to set up your regular art fair booth. Make it easy on yourself and rent a table or two, make some SALE signs and have fun! Friday night set-up is now available as well as early Saturday morning. But this doesn't mean we want fancy displays. The customer lines form early so keep it simple. You can see images on our website showing what last year's show looked like.
CANCELLATION POLICY
If you have to cancel for any reason, and we can fill your booth, we refund your booth fee. In full.
New for 2015:
Also new, we have changed the layout somewhat due to the concerns about overcrowding (fire marshal). Instead of the first smaller building we're using the larger building on the other side of the main building (long time exhibitors will remember it as the Hazel Grey building).
It has better access and allows us to make it a better experience for the early morning crowds. We have added about 15 booths because of this but we are not using the whole building.
