Deer Creek Community Rummage Sale
2026-05-01 08:00 - 17:00
3rd Annual Rummage Sale Event!!90 rummage sales in one walkable community in South Fargo,ND!!
Food trucks this year!!Lupe’s Taco TruckNamaste KitchenMicks officeTropical SnoTwisted Js coffee and tea’sSweet Addictions
(Do not fall for scam posts asking you to contact them to have your food truck there or a craft booth or anything- I am the main point of contact for this event- so avoid any click bait scams! ) I try to limit posts and delete the scam ones before they post!)
We will plan for bathroom options near the trucks again this year!
You asked, we listened! Here are a few fun changes to expect this year:
1. Venmo-Friendly HomesHomes that accept Venmo will be listed so shoppers know where cashless payments are an option.
2. Shopping CategoriesStarting the week of April 14, we’ll share specific posts highlighting homes by categories of items being sold. Clothing will be broken down by sizes and by Baby, Kids, and Adults, along with the corresponding home numbers.
3. New Home Number SystemHomes will no longer be numbered based on their location in the neighborhood. Instead, they will receive a number based on when they signed up. This saves time when creating the map and allows us to focus more on organizing the categories of items being sold.Many shoppers said they wished they knew which homes had things like baby boy clothing or toddler girl clothing—this new system will help us share that information more easily.
4. Sale Numbers DisplayedAll participating homes will have their sale number clearly posted in front of their home or yard to make it easier for shoppers to find them.
5. Seating Near Food TrucksWe are hoping to source additional picnic tables (depending on cost) to place near the food trucks.Please note: due to city rules and Fargo Parks regulations, the only permitted location for the food trucks and porta potties is the Deer Creek School parking lot.
6. Snack StopsWe’ll also list homes that are selling food or drinks so you know if you’re near a quick snack stop. Many homes plan to offer things like fruit snacks, chips, and soda to keep shoppers energized as they go from sale to sale. We want happy shoppers—not hangry shoppers!

Important Notes

Parking & CarpoolingPlease carpool with friends when possible and be sure to respect all NO PARKING signs, especially in areas of the neighborhood with limited parking.

BathroomsRestrooms are available at two nearby gas stations or the porta potties located near the food trucks.

Bags & WagonsHomes save plastic bags for months, but we always run out! Please consider bringing your own reusable bags (Aldi-style) or even a wagon to help carry your finds from home to home.

Afternoon DealsMany homes offer sales or promos after 1 PM to clear out remaining items. Some of the best deals happen later in the day, such as half-price items or “fill a bag for $5” specials.

Food TrucksOur food trucks will be ready to serve food and drinks to keep you going throughout the day. Please support them—they also help support the cost of things like the porta potties.

It truly takes a village!

Most importantly—have fun and stay safe!At the end of the day… it’s a garage sale.
