The Neighborhood Super Sale, a coordinated one-day event of more than 100 yard sales across six lakes-area neighborhoods, runs each September from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The sale spans East Isles, Lowry Hill, East Bde Maka Ska, Kenwood, Cedar-Isles-Dean and Lowry Hill East (the Wedge), turning the streets around Lake of the Isles into an open-air marketplace of furniture, books, toys and the occasional find. In 2025 the sale drew well over 100 participating households on Saturday, Sept. 13.
The event is run jointly by the six neighborhood associations, which publish an interactive map and sale list at eastisles.org/sale so shoppers can plan a route and park once. Residents in the participating neighborhoods can register their own sale for $20, which includes a listing on the map; in recent years registration has closed in early September, about a week before the sale.
The coordination is what sets the day apart from a lone driveway sale. A hundred-plus sales clustered across adjacent neighborhoods draws shoppers who treat the whole area as a destination and walk for hours, which benefits every seller on the route.
Beyond the bargains, the sale keeps a large volume of usable furniture, clothing and household goods out of the landfill, and gives neighbors who have lived blocks apart a reason to meet. It is also a rare collaboration among six associations that otherwise guard their distinct identities.
Details, dates and the registration link for the next sale are posted by the participating associations, including the East Isles Neighborhood Association (eastisles.org) and the Lowry Hill Neighborhood Association (lowryhillneighborhood.org).

The East Isles Neighborhood Association holds its annual Summer Social on Wednesday, June 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Joanne Levin Triangle Park, with a rain date of June 15.

The Lowry Hill East Neighborhood Association reviews apartment and land-use proposals in the Wedge through its Community Development Committee, the volunteer-led forum where the neighborhood weighs in before projects reach the City Council.

Land use is the recurring flashpoint in Lowry Hill, a neighborhood of Victorian and Prairie-style homes where even a modest multi-unit proposal draws scrutiny under the city's built-form rules and the 2040 comprehensive plan.
