Sidewalk Sale Saturday July 20th!

Look for our farmstand on Elm street Saturday, 9am to 4pm, selling the freshest local CT fruits and vegetables and partnering again this year with Rachel of Rock, Paper, Scissors events to offer fun promotions!

Perfect Summer Event!

Sponsored annually for over 50 years by the Chamber of Commerce, and held every year on the third Saturday in July, the origins of the Sidewalk Sale date back to the 1920’s, when merchants put their wares on the sidewalks for sale. In recent years the Event has expanded to include a “Pre-Sale” day on Friday for New Canaan’s local merchants to put all of their merchandise out on the Sidewalk.

The fair offers local residents and regional visitors an action-packed, bargain-filled, entertaining, and delicious way to spend a summer day in one of the most charming towns in Connecticut. The event always offers many family friendly activities, with merchants showcasing an amazing array of products and services. Sure, there’s a little inventory spring cleaning going on, where many of the best deals spawn from, but some merchant’s have specifically ordered their customers’ favorite items to be sold at discounted prices exclusively during the Sidewalk Sale.

Walter Stewart’s Rings in the Holidays with “Peter’s Stocking” and “Donation Days”

Congratulations Lucan and Sienna Barrosa, winners of the toys in Peter’s Stocking! The memory of Peter Lewis lives on with his favorite holiday tradition. Walter Stewart’s also donated toys purchased from New Canaan Toy Store to the Toys for Tots drive. 

Lucas and Sienna’s mom Gina commented “They were so excited to win! All December whenever we came in to shop they checked if Peter’s stocking was up yet. They talked about it since last Christmas. We moved her at the end of 2021 and love shopping at Walter Stewart’s. We are there every week sometimes more than once! Mark has always been so helpful whenever we needed something.” 

Our T-Bill shoppers were also invited to donate their balances to their favorite local non-profits during our annual holiday donations days drive. Together we raised $2403.14 for participating local organizations, including ABC House, NC Food Pantry, Strays and Others, Horizons Student Enrichment, and others. Customers who would like to participate in the T-Bill Donation Days program may obtain a courtesy card from the store’s customer service staff or sign up online.
