The Toejam Carboot Sale started in January 2008 in the car park out the back of Dublin music promoters Bodytonic's bar in Portobello.  Originally conceived as a way of using the great wee space they have out the back of the pub the event quickly took on a life of its own. It is a carboot sale in the traditional sense, with cars and boots and huge selection of odds and ends on sale.  From vintage clothes to mountain bikes, jewellery to a Ford Fiesta with 30,000 miles on the clock, cupcakes to handmade stuffed Spanish horses - there's enough to keep you occupied with that, but with food stalls, DJs and the bar in full swing also, the day has become about alot more than just picking up a bargain X-box.  The event starts at 1pm with stalls wrapping up when it gets dark and the party continuing til closing time in the Bernard Shaw.  Admission is free all day
