Held by the Old Town Boutique District, the event is the longest running designer warehouse sale in the region and always happens before the Super Bowl. The first warehouse sale took place in 2005 in the Campagna Center and has grown in popularity.

"It's amazing how much this sale has grown and the regional popularity it has achieved over the past 15 years," said The Shoe Hive owner Elizabeth Todd, who started the sale. "In 2005, we didn't know what to expect for year one. We honestly thought it would be a one and done event with a modest turnout. That first year was insanity with folks packed into the Campagna Center."

The event is also giving away early entry into the Warehouse Sale to four lucky shoppers. The winner and a guest can access the sale a full hour before the doors open to the public. The contest ends on Jan. 31, and the winners will be notified on Feb. 1.
