Andersonville's Sidewalk Sale Is Three Weeks Away — Start Your Shopping List Now

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Andersonville · July 6, 2026

Summer is in full swing on Clark Street, and Andersonville's most anticipated retail celebration of the season is just around the corner. The annual Andersonville Sidewalk Sale returns July 24–26, giving neighbors and visitors three full days to score deals from the neighborhood's beloved collection of locally owned boutiques, home goods shops, bookstores, and specialty retailers.

The Sidewalk Sale is one of Andersonville's signature summer traditions, transforming Clark Street into an open-air shopping destination as merchants move their wares outside and offer some of their best prices of the year. It's the kind of weekend where you set out for one store and end up discovering three new favorites — all within a few walkable blocks. And this year, with new businesses continuing to join the corridor, there's even more to explore.

But don't wait for the 24th to get your Andersonville fix. The Vintage Market kicks things off on Saturday, July 12, bringing a curated lineup of vendors to the neighborhood just two weeks before the Sidewalk Sale begins. Back-to-back weekends of shop-local fun? That's peak Andersonville summer. Head to andersonville.org for vendor details, event maps, and everything you need to make the most of the stretch ahead.
