What the day feels like
What the afternoon feels like
The Voodoo garage sale runs as a loose, market-style afternoon: doors open at midday for a yard-sale browse, vendors outline curiosities during pop-up show-and-tell segments, and hosts circulate for meet-and-greets in a courtyard and attic described as haunted. Expect a blend of shopping, storytelling and curated displays rather than a formal guided tour.
