  • Come early for the best selection (but not before 8AM, please!) 😄
  • As this is a residential area, parking and driving are limited. Plan to park on the perimeter and walk the streets. 
    • Possible parking options include:
      • East York Community Centre (Pape south of O’Connor)
      • Donlands & O’Connor commercial area
  • Better yet: take the TTCSeveral bus routes come by Pape & O'Connor, the centre of the Golden Triangle.
  • Dress for the weather: good walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, light layers, and bring water
  • Come prepared with reusable shopping bags, small bills & change
  • And if you like a real bargain, come later in the day after vendors have slashed prices!


WEATHER WATCH ☀️

We’re currently expecting a possible thunderstorm. We’ll keep you updated as the day approaches and announce a decision on Friday if we push out to Sunday!

Golden Triangle GIANT Garage Sale - What Makes It Special?

One of the best parts of the Golden Triangle GIANT Garage Sale, beyond the shopping, is the lovely, warm community of friends and neighbours. The camaraderie is evident on days like the Garage Sale: smiling faces, kind words and an atmosphere of genuine excitement and joy. 


The 2025 Golden Triangle GIANT Garage Sale was spectacular!

When I moved into the area in 1999, the very first “Giant” Garage Sale was just me! But as my relationships grew, so did the event, until it became this annual milestone for nearly 100 households across a dozen streets. The calls typically begin in April: "Is the Garage Sale happening again this year? When is the Garage Sale?" It’s now something much bigger than me that we all look forward to and plan around. 

It's especially heartwarming to hear about neighbours who choose to donate some or all of their proceeds to organizations that are meaningful to them. It’s a wonderful way to extend the impact of the day. In 2025, nearly $3,000 was raised for causes like: 


I am looking forward to hearing about your delightful finds, successful sales, and any special stories you may have to share! It’s truly one of the things that makes this neighbourhood so special.


WEATHER WATCH ☀️
We’re currently expecting light rain, with temperatures ranging from 18 - 23 degrees Celcius. We’ll keep you updated as the day approaches.

Golden Triangle GIANT Garage Sale Success – Tips from Experienced Sellers

Over the years, we’ve seen some very successful garage sales during the Golden Triangle event. A few simple tips can make a big difference in how your sale goes.

PRICING TIPS:

Start by asking yourself what you would realistically pay for the item. If multiple buyers hesitate or try to negotiate, it may be priced too high. If items aren’t moving, be prepared to adjust prices by late morning.

DISPLAY TIPS: 

Clean your items and set up tables so folks can see your goods easily. Keep like with like: books, magazines in one zone, electronics another, kitchen stuff together, etc. And get a good night's sleep! 


OTHER TIPS:

Have $80-100 in small bills, loonies & twonies for your float at the start of the day. Instead of an easy-to-grab cash box, keep THE cash on yourself by wearing a carpenter's pouch, fanny pack or an apron with pockets. 

If you are selling higher-end items, keep them in one zone with a dedicated, trusted helper in charge of that area, full-time. 

For fragile items, have old newspapers and shopping bags handy for your shoppers.
