Town-Wide Yard Sale Maps Release This Evening

Abington, MA · June 26, 2026

The humidity is holding off just long enough for the morning joggers at Island Grove to get their miles in before the clouds roll in. Plenty of movement on the side streets today as neighbors drag the card tables out of the garage.

📰 The Lead

Maps are being finalized today for the annual town-wide yard sale scheduled for this weekend. With over 50 households already registered to participate, the event has grown into a major local draw for treasure hunters from across the South Shore. Organizers spent yesterday afternoon sorting the final list of addresses, which will be released digitally this evening to help shoppers plan their routes. Beyond the individual driveways, several local non-profits are setting up collective tables at the American Legion to raise funds for summer youth programs. Whether you are hunting for vintage furniture or just looking to clear out the garage, the sheer volume of participants this year suggests a busy Saturday morning on the side streets. Residents are reminded to park responsibly and keep sidewalks clear for pedestrians as the crowds move through town.
