Still Time to Register for Bridgeport's Annual Citywide Yard Sale; Deadline Approaching for August 1 Event
By Jeff Toquinto on July 19, 2026
It is less than a month away, but households registering for Bridgeport’s annual Citywide Yard Sale have been trickling in slowly, but consistently, Community Development Director Andrea Kerr said.
Kerr said there is still time to register, and is hoping for a strong push as the deadline nears.
The event will take place Saturday August 1, which falls in line with holding the event the same time for the past several years. The city has 
held it the first Saturday in August since its inception.
held it the first Saturday in August since its inception.
The “official” time for the city sale is from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Many residents start earlier and remain open longer than that period. Kerr said many residents opt to make it a two-day event, which is something the city has no control over.
The city’s actual involvement is limited, but it is an important part of the event for those seeking out deals and looking to plan the best way to hit as many homes as possible. Bridgeport allows residents to register their homes for a city distribution list.
“Individuals can go ahead and email me their address, which is really all we need,” said Kerr. “Homes can advertise any way they see fit, including by registering with us, going on Facebook, signs, online, or in newspapers.”
To get on the city list, individuals need to email Kerr at akerr@bridgeportwv.gov. Kerr takes all the addresses submitted and then puts them on a city map that is distributed to the public. To date, roughly 60 homes have registered, which means many more will likely be registering in the days ahead.
Individuals can submit their address to Kerr through July 24. After that, the addresses will be put on the map, printed, and placed at various city venues for pickup – such as the municipal complex, public library, the Benedum Civic Center, and others. Connect-Bridgeport will announce when the maps are available.
