Today will be the 27th annual Balboa Island Garage Sale put on by Carolyn Carr-Kamps. The tradition begins at 7:30am and will officially end at 3pm– though the ones who sell out of their goods will surely begin to close before that!
It was reported on the 25th year that it would be the final year because the organizers simply couldn’t keep up any longer, but the reins have been passed to someone else, and the tradition continues.
Another tradition that continues is from everyone who has learned the hard way here: Get there early!!
Parking will most certainly be problematic so if you don’t get there in time, consider riding your bike instead. The sale will occur in the alleys throughout Balboa, but particularly those lining Marine Ave.
Enjoy! And… see you there?!
