THE ANNUAL CHURCHILL'S GROVE GARAGE SALE IS SATURDAY, MAY 3, 2025
Every year, on the first Saturday of May, residents throughout Churchill's Grove hold their annual garage sales from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. rain or shine. The event attracts attendees from all over the Rockford area and beyond, creating an atmosphere that is a cross between a flea market and a neighborhood block party. The first garage sale was in 1985.
