6th Annual Great Garage Sale

If you’re the kind of person who loves the thrill of finding a hidden gem—a vintage lamp, a perfectly worn-in set of tools, a quirky piece of décor you didn’t know you needed—then the upcoming 6th Annual Great Garage Sale at Charlotte Sports Park is the kind of Saturday morning adventure you’ll want to mark on your calendar.

 

On November 22, 2025, from 8 a.m. to noon, the ballpark at 2300 El Jobean Road in Port Charlotte will transform into a sprawling treasure hunt where every booth holds the possibility of your next great find.

 

The location is easy to get to, and if you’re heading out early, you can plug in the Google Maps link for quick directions:

This community favorite, hosted by Charlotte County Parks & Recreation, is free to attend and always draws a wide range of sellers—neighbors clearing out garages, families decluttering before the holidays, and folks simply passing along quality items they no longer need. Everything about the event is listed on the official page, which you can check out here:

What makes this garage sale special is the sheer variety. One moment you’re holding a stack of classic vinyl records, the next you’re eyeing a set of garden tools or admiring a handmade quilt. There’s something refreshing about wandering from table to table with no agenda except curiosity—and maybe the hope of scoring a deal you’ll brag about later. And because it’s a community event, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Everyone is there for the same reason: to browse, to chat, and to see what unexpected treasures the morning brings.

 

As with any good garage sale, the early birds tend to snap up the best bargains, so showing up right at 8 a.m. is never a bad idea. Comfortable shoes are a must—the event spans a large outdoor area—and bringing a reusable tote or wagon makes it easier to haul your discoveries back to the car. Cash is helpful too; while some sellers might have mobile payment apps, many still prefer small bills and exact change.

 

If you’ve never been to the Great Garage Sale before, think of it as a cross between a community meet-up and a budget-friendly treasure hunt. Whether you leave with a trunk full of finds or just enjoy the fresh air and friendly conversation, it’s one of those simple local events that makes Charlotte County feel like home.

 

So grab your coffee, invite a friend, and spend your Saturday morning exploring what your neighbors have to offer. You never know what you might come home with—and that’s half the fun.
