Michigan’s Longest Garage Sale

Mark your calendars for Friday, August 7th to Sunday, August 9th, 2026, for the US 12 Heritage Trail Garage Sale. Known as “Michigan’s Longest Garage Sale,” this 200-mile journey from New Buffalo to Detroit is more of a massive treasure hunt than a simple yard sale. Every year, hundreds of vendors set up at homes, farms, and businesses to sell everything from antiques and furniture to fresh produce and homemade treats. While the items are a major draw, the event is most celebrated for its vibrant social atmosphere and the unique stories shared by locals along the route. It is a true “Americana” experience built on new connections and the thrill of the hunt.

What beautiful weather for the sales this past weekend! My husband and I took our friend from Chicago along with us this year. She was amazed at how many sales there were! (We started in Buchanan and made it to Union.) She found this treasure in Edwardsburg – and it was a steal for only $5! Had a great time and looking forward to next year of sales!

*Please remember to drive safely and to slow down while traveling US-12 and pay special attention when parking and crossing the highway during the sale.
