Overlook Neighborhood News & Info Bulletin 07/11/2024

It’s Time to Jam and Thrift!  Porchfest + the Overlook Yard Sale & Free Share this Weekend!

With temperatures dropping just enough, it’s a great weekend to get out and explore a vibrant weekend in Overlook!  We have over 50 homes participating in this year’s Yard Sale on Saturday July 13th, and over 40 musical acts playing at porches and small businesses throughout the neighborhood for Porchfest on both Saturday and Sunday.  Also, don’t forget that Sunday is the corresponding Free Share, where items that neighbors wish to part with will set them curbside with a FREE sign on them.  It’s an amazing opportunity to unload unused items, discover new treasures, meet neighbors, and enjoy the talents of performers from within and beyond Overlook!

The map shown above depicts the Yard Sale locations in yellow, the Saturday Porchfest venues in dark purple, and the Sunday Porchfest venues with the lighter plum colored icons.  You can also find an interactive google version here that will also work with your mobile device:  https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit?mid=1uWSjhhD4XLhXwc4rBhG51X7hA3iBvik&usp=sharing  We will also be posting paper maps at participating businesses:  Double Mountain Taproom, The Stacks Coffeehouse, The Gilded Racoon, Advice Booth, Bottles & Cans, and more.

Strongly consider walking or biking about to explore all there is to offer, but we understand if you might need to drive for any number of practical reasons. Regardless, get out there and make the most of it!
