Brimfield Town-Wide Tag Sale

Brimfield is known world-wide as a destination for treasure hunting, but once a year, the entire town turns into a secondhand shopper’s paradise. Organized by Hitchcock Academy, the area’s community center located in Brimfield, the 16th annual Brimfield Town-Wide Tag Sale will take place on Saturday, May 30 from 8am to 2pm.

All of the sales are included on a map complete with listings that describe what shoppers can find at each site, also noting any sales that will continue through Sunday. Several sales are on-site at Hitchcock, so the community center is a great place to start your shopping. The Brimfield Farmers’ Market is also running in the organization’s parking lot that day from 9am to 1pm, so consider fueling up with kombucha and baked goods, or adding some fresh farm and handcrafted goods to your day’s loot.

Shoppers can pick up a printed 11x17 map at Hitchcock for $2 on the day of the event or download it from Hitchcock’s website the day prior. So far, listings include typical tag sale fare such as clothing, household items, toys, tools, housewares, small appliances, free garden pots, cleaning supplies, kitchen items, dishes, jewelry, holiday décor, crafts, baking, books, cds and dvds, baby items, furniture, pet supplies, assorted tools and tech items, and knick-knacks, along with vintage and antique items.

Unique items in the listings include an original Atari system, kayaks, truck boxes, Amazon Mystery Boxes, a 12 foot aluminum boat, tin toys, andirons, prints, baseball cards, a bamboo fly rod, a Modern Glenwood Home Grand Wood Burning Cook Stove, antique sewing machine, table saw, bench sander, and more.

“It’s such a fun day and a unique way to foster a sense of community,” says Hitchcock Executive Director Cindy Skowyra. “We hear often how people enjoy interacting with one another as much as they enjoy the hunt.”
