Annual Greenwich Sidewalk Sale Days Start Today

GREENWICH, CT — The annual Greenwich Sidewalk Sale Days are scheduled to run from July 13-16, featuring bargains galore from merchants along Greenwich Avenue and nearby downtown streets.

Organized by the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce, the popular event is sponsored by TD Bank, with media sponsors including Greenwich Free Press.

More than 100 local businesses are slated to participate, and the chamber had to turn away more than 100 requests from out-of-town vendors since the event is only for Greenwich stores, reports the Greenwich Time.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
