For the first time, this event will be held on a Sunday.
This is to allow for longer hours. This is our most-popular
event of the year! (vendor space is sold out).
For those of you in Rhode Island and Elsewhere, Somerville is

This event is sponsored by the Somerville Arts Council and is part of their ArtsUnion Program. This is the 4th year that What Cheer has collaborated with the SAC to bring their popular Rock And Roll Yard Sale to Somerville.
What Cheer has been doing their Rock And Roll Yard Sales for over 7 years now in Rhode Island and Massachusetts - including their recent high profile month-long residency at the Institute of Contemporary Art (the ICA) in Boston, as part of their exhibit on Vinyl Records + Art. With a strong emphasis on Vinyl Records, these events have been part of a movement that's made Vinyl Records popular once again. Some of New England's best Record Sellers will be joined by excellent Vintage and DIY Handmade Vendors, making for a unique shopping experience where attendees will find great one-of-a-kind items available nowhere else. There will be all sorts of Music-Related Items including many different formats of Vinyl Records, CDs,
Cassettes + maybe 8-Tracks /Tapes. there'll also likely be Music + Audio Gear
rare Music Magazines, Silk Screened Posters + Promotional Items. There will
also be lots of classy Vintage + Re-Fashioned Clothing + Accessories in addition to lots of amazing Local DIY Crafts. We are in some really tough economic times these days, but the DIY Movement is growing and artists and creative businesspeople are taking to events like this to find an audience for what they do. This is a perfect way to support DIY & Independent Small Businesses!
