The Great Gilmour Street Garage Sale is an annual street wide garage and charity sale held on the Saturday after the Victoria Day May long weekend. Started in 1990, the entire street is taken up by residents selling stuff, and many larger organizations raising money through various sales. Mostly confined between Park Street on the West and Monaghan Road, there are usually a few sellers West of Monaghan, and often some along Homewood Avenue.
There does not seem to be any "official" online presence for the sale, but there is a facebook page.
For 2013, the date is Saturday May 25 (8:30am-1pm) with a rain date of Sunday May 26th. Some participants:
- Taoist Tai Chi Society of Canada Peterborough branch
- 529 Homewood Avenue - Peterborough Symphony Orchestra
