An upcoming outdoor St. Joseph event gives residents the opportunities to find deals and see what’s new downtown. 

Brittany Smith is the Event Coordinator and a First Saturdays Downtown St. Joseph Board Member. Smith said several businesses are participating in the annual Sidewalk Sale event. 

“Everything will be set out on the sidewalks,” Smith said. “It’s not a First Saturday event but (people) can expect art and maybe some facial products and things like that from the different businesses in downtown.” 

Smith said the Sidewalk Sale is a great way to support local businesses. 

“It’s also a great way to explore downtown and maybe see some businesses you didn’t know were down there,” Smith said. “(It) gives people an opportunity to see some new things that have been going on downtown, there’s new construction going on, there’s the Mosaic building center moving into downtown, there’s been some new different structures that were built – there’s a concession stand now that’s there for events that are held at the square.” 

Smith said any downtown residents are also invited to be involved in the sidewalk sale if they would like to sell their items. 

The Sidewalk Sale takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 23rd in Downtown St. Joseph.
