Ozark city wide garage sale 2023

2022 Citywide Garage Sale

June 2, 3, 4

Registration opens March 8 for the annual citywide garage sale. Multiple day options available. To be included on the citywide map listing, register with Parks and Recreation by May 20.

Vintage pieces, boutique gifts, collectibles and more unique items will soon fill the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds' E*Plex for the inaugural Missouri Junker Days.

The two-day garage sale and marketplace event is Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., located at 3001 N. Grant Ave. in Springfield.

Melissa Cleland is the co-owner of Forked Road Events, the event company hosting Missouri Junker Days. Cleland and her family began hosting garage sale and marketplace events in Lebanon five years ago. As the events continued to grow, they needed larger event spaces. So they turned to Springfield.

This year, more than 200 vendors will be present, including high-end boutiques, collectors, craft makers and overstock resellers.

The first 50 guests each day will receive a free goodie bag, full of products from vendors. Cleland said each vendor is asked to donate at least one item for the goodie bags but often, vendors donate several. Most of the bags are bursting at the seams, she said with a laugh.

Admission to Missouri Junker Days is $5. Children 12 and younger are free. One ticket is good for entry both days. Tickets can be purchased at forkedroadevents.com/collections/missouri-junker-days/products/missouri-junker-days.

Each year, Forked Road Events likes to recognize "heroes" in the community with free admission. This year, all military personnel who present military identification will receive free entry.

Vendor booth space is available until Wednesday at noon, Cleland said. If interested in purchasing a booth space call or text Cleland at 573-586-8579.
