It's back! Prepare to embark on a Hawkesbury treasure hunt like no other as Australia's largest secondhand shopping festival, the Garage Sale Trail, returns across two weekends in November. This fun-filled community event is where one person's pre-loved items become another's cherished finds.
There are already 10 registered sales in the Hawkesbury, and residents can look forward to discovering unique pieces, from vintage collectibles to practical household items, all while contributing to a more sustainable future.
Last year, more than 400,000 Australians participated in more than 14,000 garage sales nationwide, saving a massive 4.8 million kilos of items from landfills. Beyond the environmental impact, the 2023 trial generated over $3.6 million for participating households and community groups.
This year's Garage Sale Trail runs over two weekends - November 9-10 and November 16-17—giving treasure hunters and sellers multiple opportunities to snag a bargain, declutter your space and make some extra cash, or raise funds for your local sporting club or community group.
Interested people can visit garagesaletrail.com.au to register their sale or map out their treasure-hunting route through local sales.
