Bazaar on the Bricks Sidewalk Sale is coming to the heart of Hays to give local vendors, businesses and nonprofits a chance to set up shop.
The sale runs from 7:30 a.m. to noon on Main Street. Lee Ann June, executive director of the Bricks in Downtown Hays, said the event will feature more than 50 vendors, along with downtown retailers.
"There's everything from your homemade food items to different nonprofits, and items to wear and personalize," June said.
The annual sale stretches from Eighth to 12th streets. The Downtown Hays Market will also take place alongside Bazaar on the Bricks at 7:30 a.m. under the Downtown Hays Pavilion.
Bryan VonFeldt, treasurer of the Bricks board of directors, said the day will also be full of family fun with a bouncy house, bubble machine and chalk for kids.
Commemorative bricks will be sold at the event to help fund a shed for storing Downtown Hays Market supplies, June said.

The event was previously known as the Sidewalk Bazaar, which started in 1963, and has undergone several changes. It was initially intended as an annual back-to-school clothing sale for downtown businesses.
