Sidewalk Days

Every shop on the three streets brings its racks and bins out onto the sidewalk and marks things down. It runs whatever the weather does.

It started as a way to clear summer stock before the fall order came in, and it turned into the weekend the town shows up for. The sidewalks get tight and the good stuff is gone by Saturday afternoon.

John Street North stays open to cars both days, so mind the traffic when you step off the curb. Elgin between John and the lot is closed from nine on Saturday for the barbecue.
