Where can I find a LIST of PARTICIPATING VENDORS?

An updated Vendor list is available on our website: http://legaragesale.net/vendors. You can click on the Vendor's name to check out their Instagram or website.

Where can I find the SHOPPER MAP with Vendor booth locations?

A couple of days before the event, we will post the Shopper Map on our Insta/FB. Be sure to screenshot and save to your Favorites! You can also use the scancode on signs at the event to download the Shopper Map to your phone.

Are there CHANGE ROOMS?

Some stores set up a change room area but most do not. And because it’s final sale, unless you are comfortable “le nu”, dress accordingly. Many women wear biker shorts, bathing suits, modest lingerie. And voila! You’re prepared to score une grand affaire!!

Who do I PAY FOR MERCHANDISE?

Every vendor processes their own sales, so you must pay for your merchandise at each booth. Some vendors may be cash only-- but most will accept credit cards or venmo….just ask them.

Is there an ATM?

There is an ATM (bank transaction fees apply) in the Palmer Events Center main lobby.

Are STROLLERS allowed?

It can be very difficult to navigate the aisles and booths with a stroller. If you need to bring one, you may want to come later in the day when it's less crowded.

What is the ENTRANCE FEE used for?

Door charges cover venue costs, advertising, insurance, staffing, and all the millions of little things that have to happen to make this event a reality. Because the stores are selling at or below cost, Le Garage Sale keeps the Vendor fees low so they can pass those savings on to you!!!

Will FOOD/DRINKS be available?

Coffee, snacks, sandwiches, etc. are available at Palmer concessions — and we'll have a a full bar + a roaming bar cart!

Organized by

Since 2001, Austin's legendary Le Garage Sale has drawn fashion-conscious shoppers to a semi-annual event that pulls the creme de la creme of Austin’s independent boutiques and local labels under one roof where everything is on sale. 

Retail dreams are made of these. Le Garage Sale is a highly-anticipated two-day shopping event each January and August that's considered the Barney’s Warehouse Sale of the south. An expertly curated mix of 140+ local businesses offer insane, end-of-season pricing for one weekend only. 

Ranging from clothes and accessories to home decor and more, Austin’s top tier brands and makers bring their signature selection and excess inventory to giddy customers in a one-stop-shop set to a hip backdrop of music, coffee, cocktails and a high energy atmosphere.

An epic, can't-miss event.
