One of the largest and longest running community porch sales, the Hamilton Street Porch Sale, will be held this Saturday (Sept. 17), from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Every year, more than 100 vendors sell their wares, such as household items, clothes, cookware, books, and many other items at this four-block long porch sale, from 34th to 38th Streets in Powelton Village. There will also be food and drinks prepared by neighbors and local organizations.

Hamilton Street Porch Sale began in 1981 and is still going strong! The sale is usually held on the 2nd Saturday after Labor Day every, but this year was postponed by one week. Rain date is Sunday, Sept. 18.

Thanks to our reader Tony D. for this info: The 32nd Annual Hamilton Street Porch Sale, a four-block long sidewalk sale, will be held in Powelton Village this Saturday (Sept. 8). The sale began as a small yard sale and has grown over the years to a four-block long sale with over 100 vendors, a mix of long time residents and local vendors.

There will be a wide variety of items for sale, including: housewares, bookcases, furniture, pottery, clothes, family treasures, books, antiques, plants, food, jewelry, musical instruments, electronics, and more.

The sale will take place all along Hamilton Street from 34th Street to 38th Street from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (rain date: Sunday, Sept. 9).

The 4300 block of Larchwood Avenue will be closed today from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a large multi-family porch sale, so drivers will have to detour around that block during these hours. We hear that housewares, furniture,  kids and adult clothes and toys are among the items offered for sale.

A huge multi-home porch sale is being held this Saturday, May 12, on Melville and Locust Streets beginning at 9 a.m. Check out the flyer below for more details.

This is the Mac Daddy of West Philly porch sales. Actually, it’s more of a warehouse sale. The organization Penn Moves is once again collecting all of the stuff departing Penn students would otherwise leave behind – on the sidewalk or in the dump – and selling it for charity.

OK sure, so there might be too many mouse pads and God knows how many pairs of Uggs, but there could always be a hidden gem behind that tiny little refrigerator.

This year the sale will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 4 at a warehouse Penn owns at 3401 Grey’s Ferry Ave (see map below). You can get in for a sneak peak at 8 a.m. for $5.

Goodwill Industries International Inc. will handle the sorting and transportation of the myriad items students donate, which range from cocktail dresses to cocktail sauce and coffee makers to coffee tables. One striking image at last year’s sale at the Class of 1923 Arena was a wall of microwaves.

All the proceeds from the sale go to Goodwill. Last year that was $22,000.

Penn Moves will collect items through May 18 near college houses and through May 31 at Sansom Place  (3600 Chestnut St.)
