Downtown Kicks Off Sidewalk Sale

Watch where you're walking in downtown today and tomorrow; the Annual Downtown Sidewalk Sale Days are back.

 There are sales galore that started Thursday, outside, on the sidewalk -- as long as the weather holds.  If it doesn’t, head indoors because there are plenty of sales inside as well. (Sorry to report that forecasters are calling for an 80 percent chance of rain today.)

The Sidewalk Sale will continue through Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m each day, although at Gotham, sales people said the sidewalk sale will last until the merchandise is gone.

 With racks and tables holding tanks and T-shirts going for 3 for $15, that might not take long.

Clothes, shoes, knickknacks, watches, purses and more will line the sidewalks on Millburn Avenue, Main Street and Essex Street through Saturday evening.

The sale is sponsored by the .

When asked how it’s going, one downtown merchant selling watches, braclets and handbags outside on Thursday said, “It’s going.”

By Saturday, merchants hope that turns into “Going. Going. Gone.”
