Are you ready to do some serious shopping? While there are loads of events to experience throughout the year, from flea markets to estate sales, one summertime event is simply overflowing with finds and fun. You might have checked out our previous article about the US-12 Heritage Garage Sale that snags the title of Michigan’s longest. But there’s another yard sale trail in Michigan that serves as a perfect add-on (or even alternative, depending on your location) to the US-12 event. It is the 100-mile yard sale 2023 – also called The Antique Yard Sale Trail. Round up a few pals, mark your calendars, and get ready to do some dedicated treasure hunting.

The trail extends between two small towns. It starts in New Baltimore and goes all the way northward through tiny Caseville.
This awesome expanse of yard sales takes visitors on a scenic tour along highways M-29 and M-25.

Both of these give way to fantastic views of Lake Huron and the St. Clair River. It’s two adventures in one!
During the sale weekend, you’ll have the opportunity to stop at private residences for yard sales, charming boutiques for antiques, and everything in between.

Make sure to start with an empty car trunk so you have plenty of room for your new unique finds.
