Dallas GA & Paulding Garage Sales and Events

Updated Oct. 18, 2026 by Spread the Word. Times are Eastern.

Dallas and the rest of Paulding County, including Hiram and the neighborhoods along the Highway 278 and Highway 61 corridors, are good ground for garage and yard sales: lots of family homes, big lots and plenty of tools, furniture and kids' gear. This page covers Paulding sales as we confirm them, free things to do through Halloween and the holiday events already on the calendar. Plans change, so check with the host before you drive.
