Vermont Business Magazine The picturesque town of Manchester invites visitors and locals alike to experience its much-loved Annual Sidewalk Sales, taking place Thursday through Sunday, August 7–10, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. This four-day shopping tradition features over 30 local retailers, including designer outlets, stylish boutiques, artisan galleries, and specialty shops. Expect exceptional bargains on clothing, footwear, home décor, and Vermont made goods—complemented by Vermont’s tax-free savings on clothing and footwear.
“We’re thrilled to bring back Manchester’s Annual Sidewalk Sales,” said John Burnham, Executive Director of the Manchester Business Association. “It’s an opportunity for visitors to discover local charm, enjoy tax free savings, and explore the exceptional mix of shops that make our town a shoppers paradise.” Shop early in the day to beat the crowd, explore both outlets and indie boutiques, and leave time to enjoy Manchester’s cultural offerings—from restaurants and galleries, to nearby attractions like the Southern Vermont Arts Center, Hildene, and scenic hiking trails.
