Manteno, IL – Bargain hunters and community members across Manteno are preparing for one of the village’s most anticipated fall traditions as the 27th Annual Manteno Oktoberfest Garage Sale Days return from September 26 to 28.
The three-day event coincides with the broader Manteno Oktoberfest celebration and offers residents a chance to register their homes as official garage sale stops. This year’s sales will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
According to the Manteno Chamber of Commerce, the $20 registration fee—valid through Sept. 5—includes listing addresses on the official garage sale map, which will be available online, via QR code, and in printed form at Manteno Village Hall. Registered sellers will also benefit from online promotion and a physical brochure listing.
Late registration is available between Sept. 8 and 12 for $25.
The garage sale days have become a popular draw for both locals and visitors, bringing added foot traffic and festive energy to the town ahead of the official Oktoberfest activities.
Residents interested in participating are encouraged to sign up early to secure a spot on the map and maximize exposure. Registration details and forms are available on the Manteno Chamber of Commerce website.
