♻️ Waste Reduction: 

Help us limit waste by bringing your own reusable cups, water bottles, utensils, and containers. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

👗 Clothing Swap:

Bring up to ten gently used and clean clothes to participate in the clothing swap. 

items can be dropped off at Glendale City Hall on April 19th (Suite 200) from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM or during the swap from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM.

How the Clothing Swap Works!

  • Find up to 10 clean and gently used (no holes or tears) clothing items, like shirts, bottoms, dresses, jackets, and bags.
  • When you bring your clothes, you’ll receive a Clothing Swap ticket which gives you priority access to the Clothing Swap.
  • Arrive between 11 AM - 12 PM, show your ticket, and shop! Please don’t take more items than you brought.
  • After 12:00 PM, the Clothing Swap opens to the general public. 
  • Once you finish swapping, check out the rest of the fair including the free-free market! 

**The City of Glendale is not liable nor responsible for items being clean and in good condition.
