RAIN OR SHINE

The Abita Springs Whole Town Garage Sale is one of the Louisiana's largest "garage sale events." Each year in the spring hundreds of people in the Abita Springs area all have their garage on the same day in March, and people from all over the region come to find great deals and a good time. If you enjoy garage sales and flea markets, and the ambiance of a small town celebration, don't miss it. The brainchild of Abita Springs resident John Preble in 1994, this event was first produced by the Abita Springs Civic Association and later by the Abita Springs Recreation Committee. Today, Preble and a committee of the Town of Abita Springs now produce the event and proceeds go toward the beautification of the town.
