Town-Wide Yard Sale in Acushnet Features Close to 100 Homes

Acushnet will be buzzing as two popular events unfold, both with the same goal of bringing the community together.

While the Apple Peach Festival celebrates its 41^st year, a town-wide yard sale will attract thrifty shoppers to the SouthCoast on Sept. 10 and 11.

The Unofficial Tradition of Acushnet

Every year during the weekend of the Apple Peach Festival, community members get together and host a town-wide yard sale. The festival’s crowd is the perfect opportunity for homeowners to purge their belongings and give them new life via bargain hunters.

It’s been a word-of-mouth tradition for decades, and Kelsey Janak decided to improve upon it.

Town-Wide Yard Sale Gets Organized

Janak has been an Acushnet resident since 2016. When she was looking to learn more about her future home, she noticed that there was no official page for the town. Not long after she moved in with her family, she decided to make a Facebook page for Acushnet that has amassed over 6,000 followers.

With the help of the Facebook group and an idea from a fellow friend, Janak decided to revamp the town-wide yard sale and put a little more organization into it.

“I decided to put together a map of addresses and organize it into a route,” she said, in hopes of making the weekend a little more seamless.

Traffic proved to be an issue on Main Street last year, but with the help of police presence and a handy map, Janak believes this year will be just as successful.

What To Expect on September 10th and 11th

Last year, over 100 houses participated in the town-wide yard sale, and this year comes pretty close to that.

“The community absolutely loves it,” Janak said. “People seemed to appreciate the organization (last year) and I hope it brings the community closer together.”

There will also be lemonade stands scattered throughout town and opportunities to donate to local charities and animal shelters.

Janak also hopes that the yard sale will attract more families to the Apple Peach Festival, which has seen a decrease in attendance over the years.

“The festival is a crucial part of our tradition,” she said.
