This year's event will be held on Saturday, October 20, and Sunday, October 21. 

Last year as many as 89 Newcastle households and groups opened their garages or held stalls to sell unwanted items to almost 3,000 buyers. Nationally, more than 15,000 garage sales were held in neighbourhoods across the country with over 1.6 million treasures up for sale.

It's free to register a sale and anyone can participate, including individuals, community groups, whole neighbourhoods, schools and local businesses. Early registrations receive a free seller pack.
