Chattanooga’s 9th Annual Outdoor Expo and Gear Swap is happening April 23 at The Gear Closet.
Organizers said, "It’s all about finding great deals on outdoor stuff, from clothing and shoes to boats and bicycles.
It is basically a multi-family yard sale for folks who want to sell outdoor gear and clothing. From outdoor shops like Rock/Creek to individuals who have a plethora of extra gear, there’s something for everyone at the Gear Swap. Started by Outdoor Chattanooga nine years ago, last year they asked The Gear Closet to take over hosting the event."
The Gear Closet opens its front yard to all sellers and outdoor organizations to set up. All parking will be outside the gates. Gates open at 10 a.m. and music starts at noon. Food trucks will be on site and kid’s environmental activities will be available as well.
