Annual GAYRAGE SALE

Each year MS Capital City Pride's Gayrage Sale gets a little bigger and a little wilder!  

Community members around the Jackson metro bound together as they Spring clean attics, garages, and closets for a good cause.  Donations are brought to local businesses and then gathered by the Pride Team to the Gayrage Sale venue.  Volunteers organize the donations into categories and price items for the big Gayrage Sale day! Customers shop to their heart's content and know that their dollars are going to a good cause.

Watch here for details for the 2026 Gayrage Sale!

Donors of the Gayrage Sale is not limited to donations of  eclectic and funky items! Donations can also include drinks and snacks for volunteers, tables to showcase the sale, and even venue space fees, or a financial donation! Donors can contribute time as working volunteers to sort clothes and housewares, too! 

The Gayrage Sale was on Saturday, June 14, 2025, right after the Rainbow Run 5k, and in the fellowship hall of Broadmeadow United Methodist Church!  This fundraising event brought in almost $3,000! We had over 180 purchases via cash or card, and saw hundreds of friendly faces shopping eclectic and funky fun donations. Anything not sold was donated to the Good Samaritan Center!  Gayrage Sale proceeds were utilized for the 2025 It's Pride Y'all Festival expenses.

A great big thank you to the folks at our drop-off locations: Holland & Williams Home, Green Heart Wellness, The End of All Music, and Shade Pub & Nightclub.  And we would not have been a success without the generous help of volunteers helping sort, arrange, and price everything! Thank you so much!

Leftover Gayrage Sale donations were donated to the Good Samaritan Center!  Gayrage Sale 2024 had 4 drop-off locations, 30+ donations, with 105 customers on Friday and 207 customers on Saturday.  Total fundraised was $4,206!  These proceeds were used for It's Pride Y'all Festival 2024 expenses such as venue rental, security, stage, lighting and sound expenses, and festival merchandise.
