Darien Sidewalk Sale Days have returned, with food trucks by Webster Bank starting Thursday and other events, especially kids’ events, on Friday and Saturday. Stores downtown and in the Noroton Heights business district are participating. Remember, the full name of the event is “Darien Sidewalk Sale & Family Fun Days,” and there are many events for children to participate in, along with sidewalk bargains for adults. Especially if you’re visiting a number of stores in town for Sidewalk Sale Days this is also a great weekend for your kids to start participating in the “Where’s Waldo?” contest (more on that below).

For a store all about movin’ on down the road, Runner’s Roost, a specialty shop for those who run, stayed put at 425 Post Road for a lot of years — 38 — before moving to Goodwives Shopping Center. The store’s new space, near the “elbow” of the shopping center at 25 Old Kings Hwy. N. (between Imperial Cleaners and Koko FitClub) is open and ready for business. That includes business at Darien Sidewalk Sale & Family Fun Days, which starts this Thursday. The Pink Lemon/Blue Lime store previously occupied the same spot before moving out of town.

The Darien Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual Sidewalk Sales & Family Fun Days on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 14, 15 and 16, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The event features Darien merchants exhibiting along the Post Road, at Goodwives Shopping Center and at Noroton Heights Shopping Center. Bargains with discounts of up to 70 percent are expected. According to the Darien Chamber of Commerce, expect these activities each day of the event:

Thursday, July 14: Shoppers can stop by the Chamber of Commerce tent to get their special insert with a guide to the events over the three days. There will be a special guessing contest for children and adults to win a prize. The inflatable Bouncy House can be found next to William Pitt Sotheby’s for children to have some fun.

Kids and adults looking for fun and bargains flocked downtown and to Noroton Heights, crowding sidewalks on Thursday, the first of three days of the Darien Sidewalk Sale & Family Fun Days. Runners Roost and some other shops outside of downtown also had items out in front of their storefronts Thursday. Stores are offering discounts and, in a few cases, free food samples. (Check out the $50 men’s watches at David Harvey Jewelers.)

The sales and fun continue through Saturday, when plenty of events are scheduled for kids. Featured in this article (we’ll follow up with more visits to vendors on Friday and Saturday):
