2025 July 12: Monroe Fresh Finds Community Garage Sale
This program is a collaboration with the Monroe Avenue Merchants Association, the Monroe Avenue Revitalization Coalition and all the neighborhood associations along the Monroe Avenue corridor.
Second Saturdays
Every "Second Saturday" the Monroe Avenue Merchants Association (MAMA) is organizing business promotions along Monroe Avenue. the business promotions include specials and discounts by participating businesses. In addition, a "passport" program will be offered that encourages nearby residents to visit businesses along the corridor with prizes to be awarded during "Small Business Saturday" at the end of the season in November.
Every "Second Saturday" all the neighborhood associations along the Monroe Avenue corridor are organizing garage sales under the banner of "Monroe Fresh Finds". The associations are working together to promote "Monroe Fresh Finds" to the community as a fun way to spend a Saturday in our area.
