As we step into May, downtown comes alive with a weekend full of simple joys, friendly faces, and experiences you’ll want to be part of. The first weekend of May is shaping up to be something special. Here’s a look at what’s waiting for you.
A Treasure Hunt Across Town: Community-Wide Garage Sales
The TMCS Community-Wide Garage Sales fill our streets with hidden gems, vintage finds, and one-of-a-kind discoveries. Garage sale maps are available at Tipp Monroe Community Services, Wendy’s McDonald’s, Tipp City Public Library, Greenville Federal and Sam and Ethel’s Resturant and are your perfect guide for a weekend of exploring.
Rolling Up Our Sleeves: Train Depot Clean-Out
On Saturday, May 3 at 9:00 AM, we’ll gather at the historic Tipp City Train Depot to give this special landmark a little extra care. This special spot has been a silent witness to so many chapters of our town’s story—and now, it’s our turn to give it a little extra love. Volunteers are invited to help clean, organize, and freshen up the Depot. Treasure hunters are encouraged to stop by!
Celebrate the Moms in Your Life: The Mom Shop Hop
Saturday also brings a favorite downtown tradition: the Mom Shop Hop! As you stroll through downtown, you’ll find all kinds of specials and surprises waiting for you.
At Fox and Feather, every purchase comes with a piece of jewelry, and Friends of Downtown members can stop in to pick up an exclusive Mom Shop Hop gift. Inside Fox and Feather, Zack Jacobs State Farm Insurance and Coldwater Café are teaming up and offering DORA samples from 11 AM to 2 PM on Saturday—while supplies last! Over at The Hair Barre, you can enjoy discounted med spa services provided by Kara Miller PA-C with Skin Clique, browse custom jewelry from The Speckled Hen, and even grab a spray tan from Solea Spray Tan. Living Simply Soap is offering free gift wrapping along with a Mother’s Day seed packet giveaway, while Always Blooming Flowers is celebrating with free delivery on any Mother’s Day flower orders placed in-store on Saturday. Don’t miss The Clothesline on North Second Street either—they’ll be open from 10 AM–4 PM Saturday, and every purchase comes with a free gift. And as you wander the sidewalks, look for big savings at Broadway Hair Studio, Midwest Memories, and Topsy Turvy Toys as they clear out winter and spring inventory during their sidewalk sales.
While Saturday is the big day for most pop-ups and specials, many of our merchants are celebrating all weekend long—making it the perfect time to explore, shop small, and treat someone special (or yourself!).
