Each year in July the sidewalks are filled with tables and tents for Downtown Iowa City’s Annual Sidewalk Sales, a tradition that began in 1968. Shoppers come to experience the four-day savings extravaganza, which begins on a Thursday and runs through the evening on Sunday. A long-standing tradition of the Iowa City Downtown and Northside Marketplace, there’s no better way to see the best of what downtown merchants have to offer.

Sidewalk Sales will take place Thursday, July 16th through Sunday, July 19th. Stay tuned for a full list of participating businesses.
