Bellflower kicks off 2026 Looking Better Program

Residents interested in participating in the community yard sale must pre-register at this link and host their sale at their own home. Yard sales will take place from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. within each neighborhood’s designated boundaries. To boost participation, the City will promote the event with yard-sale signage and social-media advertising.
