The Highway 141 Garage Sale runs the first full weekend of August, stretching about 177 miles along Iowa Highway 141 across west-central Iowa. It starts at Grimes on the Des Moines side and runs west through Perry, Coon Rapids, Manning, and Denison, out to Mapleton and Sloan near the Missouri River. Two days of small-town garage sales, driveway setups, and yard sales strung along one highway as it crosses the farm country of the Raccoon and Boyer river valleys.
It is a towns-only event with more than 20 years behind it — 22 communities along the route, and around 350 registered sales in a typical year. Each town organizes its own sales, and the individual addresses are now posting town by town: the map above shows the sales mapped so far, still filling toward the weekend as more towns publish their lists.
This route runs through these anchor towns. Drive any segment, or the whole route — most folks pick a stretch and work their way through it.
