Trash or treasure: The Kewanee Voice announces a citywide yard sale event


By The Kewanee Voice    March 21, 2025

Get ready to clean house and prepare for “yards of yard sales” as The Kewanee Voice announces the first organized Kewanee community-wide yard sale.

The citywide sale, or K-Town Yard Sale, as it has been dubbed, will take place the first three days of May and run Thursday, May 1, through Saturday, May 3.

The event will offer Kewanee residents a fantastic opportunity to declutter their homes, yards, garages and attic spaces, while connecting with neighbors all in hopes of uncovering hidden treasures right in their own community.

Inspired by the success of similar events in nearby towns like Geneseo, Annawan and Atkinson, the citywide sale aims to promote a sense of community while promoting sustainability through reusing and repurposing items. It’s the perfect time for residents to transform their spring-cleaning efforts into an enjoyable, rewarding and profitable experience.

More details about the yard sale will be shared as the event approaches. Residents looking to participate can list their yard sale ads in The Kewanee Voice Classifieds for just $20. These listings will serve as a handy guide for bargain hunters to plan their shopping routes. More information will be provided in the coming weeks on how to list your address on the website.

Depending on the level of public interest, the citywide yard sale could become an annual tradition and something that will help ensure Kewanee residents stay clutter-free.

So, mark your calendars and get ready to join in the fun! Whether you’re selling, shopping or simply enjoying the festive atmosphere, The Kewanee Voice’s K-Town Yard Sale promises to be a fun event for everyone involved.

Stay tuned for more updates and announcements and get ready to clean out that clutter—it might just turn into someone else’s treasure.
