RED BANK: UNSINKABLE SIDEWALK SALE TOPS WEEKEND PICKS

Nothing can stop Red Bank’s sidewalk sale, it seems. Held every year since 1954, the annual tradition has lasted through recessions and boom times, shopping trends come and gone, the rise shopping malls and the fall of shopping malls. Now, add a close call with Hurricane Debby’s soggy remains to the list. 

The sale is on Friday, rain or shine, and continues Saturday and Sunday this weekend, with free parking offered by the borough and dozens of shops participating. See the full list below along with our other picks of things to do for the weekend, which is forecast to be spectacular, weather-wise, with even the bulk of Friday’s storm predicted to swing to our west.

 

Friday, Saturday, Sunday: Specials and bargains galore abound at the aforementioned 70th annual sidewalk sale, which has double the number of participants compared to last year. Here’s a list, compiled by Red Bank Rivercenter. Oh, and did we mention free parking on all borough lots and streets all weekend?
