We’ve moved the Traditions Treasures event from October 26th to November 9th, givin' our communities a little extra time to bounce back. Join us for the Traditions Treasures Yard Sale from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M.!

Ain't nothin' quite like the charm of fall mixed with the excitement of antique shoppin' along Traditions Highway. As the leaves turn, come on out and uncover some hidden gems along Highway 15—each with its own special story to share. Whether you’re on the lookout for vintage home decor, timeless treasures, or one-of-a-kind finds, Traditions Highway is the perfect spot for your fall antiquing adventures.

Highway 15, also known as Traditions Highway because of the rich history and traditions surrounding the places along its route, is more than just a way to get from here to there. It is a pathway to fun destinations, exciting events, family activities, a wealth of Georgia history, and memories that you can return to again and again.

Highway 15 is a 346-mile-long (557 km) state highway that travels south-to-north across the entire length of Georgia, east of its centerline.
