Reminder: Red Balloon Sale set for Saturday, Sept. 20
Daniel Island’s massive community semiannual sale – the Red Balloon Yard Sale – is slated for Saturday, Sept. 20, at homes throughout the neighborhoods.
Starting at 7 a.m. and running until 1 p.m., the sale gives local shoppers the chance to wander the island in search of special treasures, unique finds, and valuable deals.
To participate, put out a red balloon at your home to let everyone know you are open for business as part of this island-wide event.
While the Daniel Island Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions prohibit these types of sales conducted from a residence/unit at other times during the year, the covenants do allow for these semiannual yard sales once in the fall and again in the spring.
The Daniel Island Property Owners’ Association reminds participants that setup for your yard sale must take place in either the front or rear of your property, and no blocking of sidewalks is allowed. Set up or selling is not allowed in any DIPOA common areas, parks, or amenities, or those bel
onging to the City of Charleston. This is prohibited for liability and insurance reasons.
This is a rain-or-shine event and won’t be rescheduled for inclement weather.
