The City of Mount Vernon has set the stage for a busy October with two hallmark community events.
Residents are encouraged to mark their calendars for the Fall Yard Sale Trail, happening citywide on Saturday and Sunday, October 10–11.
This annual tradition invites households across Mount Vernon to open their lawns and driveways, creating a trail of bargains, collectibles, and hidden treasures for shoppers to explore. It’s a weekend that blends commerce with camaraderie, as neighbors connect and visitors discover the character of the city through its yard sales.
Just one week later, the focus shifts from shopping to stewardship with the Fall Cleanup Day at Ariel‑Foundation Park on Saturday, October 17. This event is a chance for residents to roll up their sleeves and help maintain one of Mount Vernon’s most cherished public spaces. Cleanup Day underscores the city’s commitment to maintaining a welcoming environment and highlights the collective effort needed to keep community spaces vibrant and inviting.
City officials have already issued a reminder: "Mark your calendars! The dates for the Fall Yard Sale Trail and Fall Cleanup Day have been announced! More details to come as we get closer to October, but it’s time to get the dates blocked off on your calendars.”
With back‑to‑back weekends dedicated to community spirit, October promises to be a month of connection, collaboration, and civic pride in Mount Vernon.
