This is one Summer Sidewalk Sale you won’t want to miss! Main Street shop owners Adhesif Clothing and Forsya Boutique have teamed up to organize a day of free family fun from 11am to 7:30pm on August 20 on the corner of Main & 6th Ave.

Jive to live covers of The Beatles and Bob Dylan by delta blues slide guitarist Rob Bertrand while the wee ones visit the lemonade stand, eat sweet treats by Sprout Vegan Bakery, and pick up a candy bag.

There will be face painting for the kiddies and grown-ups,” chuckles Melissa Ferreira of Adhesif Clothing, who insists it is only fair that the adults can play too! “We’ll also have major steals and deals on everything from vintage records, clothing, shoes, accessories, and more.

Joining the Adhesif Clothing and Forsya Boutique duo for the Summer Sidewalk Sale will be local Vancouver designers like Little Houses, Mortar and Pestle, Dotted Loop, Darwin Jewelry, Bianca Barr, Daub and Design, Fiveleft, and Schaart Clothing.

New designs will be up to 50% off and designs from previous collections will be discounted as much as 70% off,

says Melissa, who promises that many items will be $50 or less, just like the annual Nifty for Fifty Sale.

Look for coveted summer pieces like the Bandeaux Halter Swimsuit by Daub and Design, the New Girl Tote by Fiveleft, and the floral Libby frock by Dru’s Design. Take a stroll down the beach in the summery yellow Birds of Flight Dress by Ashley Zaba or picnic in print-happy pieces like the Lily Dress, Flora Shorts, or Buttercup Dress by Adhesif Clothing.
