Sidewalk Sale 39 Meetups - 2026

Meetup reservations launch Friday, July 10 at 9:00am CT.

Join us for our free Sidewalk Sale Meetups, taking place during our biggest event of the year. These community gatherings are designed to bring together stationery lovers, collectors, and curious newcomers for an afternoon of connection and conversation.

All meetups will be held on the outdoor patio at Goodwin's, located at 333 W. Wacker Dr., just steps away from Atlas.

This year's free meetups include:

Ink, Sticker & Junk Swap
Bring your extra inks, stickers, washi tape, stationery supplies, and other creative treasures to destash and swap with fellow attendees. It's the perfect opportunity to discover something new while giving unused items a second life. Any items left behind at the end of the meetup will be donated.

Journal & Planner Meetup
Connect with fellow journalers and planners to share your favorite systems, layouts, and creative ideas. Whether you use a Hobonichi, Traveler's Notebook, ring planner, or bullet journal, this meetup is a welcoming space to exchange inspiration and meet others who love putting pen to paper.

Pen Social
Bring your favorite pens and enjoy an afternoon dedicated to fine writing instruments. Share your latest acquisitions, try new pens and inks, swap stories with fellow collectors, and celebrate the hobby with a community that shares your passion.

Whether you're attending one meetup or all three, we invite you to pull up a chair, make new friends, and be part of the stationery community during Sidewalk Sale 39.
