Bargains return at this year’s Junior League of Birmingham Carousel

Birmingham’s largest garage sale is scheduled for April 26 and 27.

The Junior League of Birmingham’s Bargain Carousel will be held in the former JCPenney location at Century Plaza Mall, 7580 Crestwood Boulevard.

There will be more than 100,000 items for sale, including adult clothing, appliances, art, books, music, children’s clothing, electronics, furniture, heirloom items, holiday decorations, home décor, infant furniture and accessories and toys. 

Proceeds support community projects with the Junior League’s partner agencies. 

“I have two young boys, and new toys are a helpful tool to keeping them occupied,” said Nicole Bryant of The Preserve. “When I left Bargain Carousel last year, my car was packed to the brim with DVDs, clothes, kitchen utensils and an air hockey table.” 

The weekend kicks off with a Bargain Bash on Thursday, April 24. For $40 a ticket, VIP admission gets you in the door at 6 p.m. for early bird shopping privileges (double the listed prices), and general admission (7 p.m.-10 p.m.) is $30 a ticket. 

This year tickets will be pre-sold on Friday, April 25 from 3-7 p.m., when shoppers may purchase up to four tickets at $10 each to the Saturday sale.

Bargain Carousel will run Saturday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. ($10 tickets for 8-10 a.m. or $5 tickets from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.) and Sunday from 1-5 p.m. with free admission and half-price merchandise.
