National Garage Sale Day occurs on the second Saturday of August.
Garage sales grew out of a port custom of ship captains, and they sold excess and unclaimed cargo on the docks at a discount in rummage sales. Around the turn of the last century, charities and churches began using the concept of selling second-hand goods in a centralized location to raise money.
The US army got into the picture using a similar approach to unload surplus gear and supplies. Post-WWII, with the mass exodus from the cities to the suburbs, individual families began selling off what they couldn’t move from their garages, and an American institution was born.
National Garage Sale Day is a grassroots effort in the United States. However, the largest garage sale in the world occurs over an entire weekend and takes place nationwide in Australia, and that event is called the Great Garage Sale Trail.
