The 2023 Great Adirondack Garage Sale will take place on Memorial Day weekend, May 26 to 28, throughout communities along a 200-mile trail along state routes 28, 30 and 3.
The garage sale route meanders through the communities of Old Forge, Inlet, Raquette Lake, Indian Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, Long Lake, Tupper Lake, Cranberry Lake, Wanakena, Newcomb, Speculator and the Saranac Lake area, with additional stops at small hamlets and rural locations in-between.
The garage sale route can be easily followed by using one of the printed maps available within each community. The event website, GreatAdirondackGarageSale.com, also includes an interactive map that showcases sale locations. Each listing includes information about available items, entered by the seller. Those wishing to add details about their garage sale can also use the “add your sale” section. Listings are free.
Katie LaLonde, the Hamilton County and Tupper Lake marketing manager for the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, said in a news release that the event appeals to people both within local communities and outside the region. “This regional garage sale brings people to the region from locations throughout the Northeast, with some planning a trip to the Adirondack region to take advantage of the event,” she said.
“People visit the Hamilton County and Tupper Lake region for its big outdoor experiences, but also to visit the region’s small towns. During the Great Adirondack Garage Sale, visitors can also take part in an activity that really puts them in touch with local communities. These unique small towns are packed with character, and this event will most certainly showcase that.”
This regional garage sale originated in 2010 when the community of Long Lake coordinated its efforts with Old Forge, Inlet and Indian Lake to promote 70 miles of garage sales. Hamilton County and ROOST eventually expanded and promoted the event. Contact LaLonde at [email protected] to learn more.
