ANNUAL SIDEWALK SALE:THE SCARSDALE SIDEWALK SALE IS A THREE-DAY ANNUAL EVENT GOING BACK DECADES.THE SBA ASSUMED RESPONSIBILTY FOR RUNNING IT IN 2018. THE SALE OCCURS EACH JULY AND SUPPORTS THE SBA'S GOAL OF HIGHLIGHTING THE LOCAL MERCHANTS AND INCREASING THEIR SALES. THE 2022 SIDEWALK SALE WAS HELD JULY 29-31ST.
