Michigan’s Longest Garage Sale – a collection of simultaneous garage and yard sales along US 12 – is happening this weekend.

There are 280 locations registered with the event, which runs Friday through Sunday along US 12 Heritage Trail. The portion of the highway that runs through Lower Michigan spans 180 miles from New Buffalo to Detroit. However, the sale includes one location in Michigan City, Ind.

“You will find everything from antiques, collectibles, furniture, dishware, fresh garden produce, homemade jams and jellies, live entertainment and much more,” US 12 Heritage Trail website says. “Perhaps even more interesting than the “treasures” are the people you will meet along the way. The sales can be found along the highway at homes, farms, businesses, parking lots and fields. ... It is Americana at its best.”

Each host sets their own hours. A spreadsheet of the locations and hours is available here. A map is available here.
