Community Planting Day and Attic & Seller Days are back in Fredonia this summer, once again organized by Embrace Fredonia, a community non-profit organization seeking to enrich the quality of life for Fredonia residents and business owners through collaboration with local businesses and organizations. Organizers say it’s shaping up to be another great weekend for bargain hunters and treasure seekers alike.

The annual Community Planting Day will be held Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. Two time slots are available for volunteers, from 10 a.m. until noon and noon until 2 p.m. Volunteers are encouraged to meet at the Visitors Booth in Barker Common to help spruce up the downtown area with flowers and fresh plantings donated by area greenhouses. Coffee, hot chocolate, and donuts will be provided to volunteers in the morning followed by hot dogs in the afternoon! Please join us!

Attic and Seller Days will take place Friday, June 5 through Sunday, June 7, with sellers offering everything from furniture and collectibles to clothes, toys, tools, and more. “Attic & Seller Days brings so much life to the village,” said Lauren Boyle, President of Embrace Fredonia. “And it’s about more than just sales — it’s an opportunity for neighbors to connect, new friendships to be made, and seeing our village really come alive.”

Residents interested in selling can register their address for just $10, which gets them a spot on the official event map — a must-have for shoppers plotting their routes. Registration is open now through Friday, May 29th, either online at embracefredonia.com or in person at Fredonia Village Hall Monday-Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. or at Darwin R. Barker Library during regular hours (cash only if registering in person).

For shoppers, the adventure begins at Barker Commons, where maps can be purchased for $2 (cash only) at the Visitors Booth on Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. These maps are key to helping shoppers plan their route to all the hidden gems Fredonia has to offer.

Funds raised through Attic & Seller Days go right back into the community, supporting Embrace Fredonia’s many projects to beautify and enhance life in the village. “This event is a celebration of everything that makes Fredonia such a special place to live and visit,” said a volunteer with Embrace Fredonia. “It’s a weekend full of great finds, friendly faces, and Fredonia pride.”
