When Is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

This year's Anniversary Sale event opened to the public on July 12 and runs through August 3. However, Nordy Club members were able to access early deals starting July 8, depending on their status.

What Brands Will Be On Sale?

Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is a major event featuring over 100 brands, including some of Team Marie Claire's favorites like Madewell, Open Edit, AllSaints, Free People, Levi's, New Balance, and many more. This year's event also sees the addition of over 65 brands new to the sale, such as Sperry, Rothy's, G.H. Bass, Alice + Olivia, and more.

What Is The Difference Between The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale and the Anniversary Sale?

While Nordstrom typically has a rotating stock of sale items year-round, the retailer throws two main sales throughout the year: the Half-Yearly Sale and the Anniversary Sale.

The Half-Yearly Sale is a smaller biannual event typically occurring in late May (usually around Memorial Day) and late December after the holidays. The Anniversary Sale, in contrast, only happens once a year during the summer. Both sale events offer hundreds of deals, but the Anniversary Sale is Nordstrom's biggest event of the year, when you can get more bang for your buck with steeper discounts offered than the Half-Yearly Sale.
