Sales feed updates closer to event — check back as September 2026 approaches.
The Winfield Citywide Garage Sale is a town-wide weekend when households across Winfield, Kansas open their garages on the same days. The weekend before the Walnut Valley Festival of September 2026 is when the 2026 edition runs — the second annual citywide sale, organized with the Winfield Area Chamber of Commerce. Residents register their address ahead of time and the whole list goes out as one map, so shoppers can work a loop across town instead of chasing signs.
Winfield is the county seat of Cowley County in south-central Kansas (ZIP 67156), about 45 minutes southeast of Wichita on US-77. It is a settled town of long-held family homes, and a weekend where the whole town clears out at once turns up the mix that comes with that — furniture, tools, kitchenware, kids' and baby gear, collectibles, and the occasional estate-scale clearout. Registered sales here run everything from a Friday-to-Sunday three-day sale to a single Saturday morning, and each one sets its own hours, so the days and times matter as much as the addresses when you are planning where to be.
The timing is not an accident: the citywide sale lands the weekend before Winfield fills up for the Walnut Valley Festival, the bluegrass gathering the town is known for. Several of the 2026 sales are fundraisers — business sponsorships from this year's event go to Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters serving Cowley County, and the Cowley County Goodwill Give Back runs alongside it through September, with Goodwill contributing ten cents to KSBBBS for every pound of donated clothing, shoes and household goods. Every registered sale is mapped here with the days and hours it is open, so you can line up an efficient run across town for the days you are actually shopping.

Yes. The City of Winfield requires a garage sale permit, and it costs $1. You can apply online through the city's self-service portal or in person at City Hall. The Winfield Area Chamber of Commerce and the citywide sale organizers handle the listing itself — the permit is separate and comes from the city (620-221-5500).
Every sale sets its own days and hours, and they genuinely differ — some run Friday through Sunday, some are Friday and Saturday, and several are Saturday only. A few opened early on Thursday. Each stop on the map above carries the exact days and hours its seller posted, so you can filter to the day you are shopping and route only the sales that will actually be open when you get there.
Yes. Business sponsorships raised through the 2026 citywide sale are donated to Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters serving Cowley County, which runs one-to-one youth mentoring locally. Separately, the Cowley County Goodwill Give Back runs September 1-30, 2026: for every pound of clothing, shoes and household items donated, Goodwill contributes ten cents to KSBBBS. If something does not sell over the weekend, donating it still counts.
