Though free passes are available for the final days of the sale, presale passes allow shoppers the first look at all the items and -- speaking from experience -- they go quickly.

The annual event was cut short last spring after the first cases of coronavirus were confirmed in Michigan.

Watch our segment ahead of last year’s event on Live in the D with sisters and event co-founders Anne Seyferth and Sarah Garot:

Garot and Seyferth held a successful event in September with new safety protocols in place in order to observe proper social distancing and sanitizing during the pandemic.

From sanitizing shopping bags and rolling racks to limiting items for sellers and creating bigger, one-way aisles, the duo completely shifted the layout of the event.

“One thing we are trying to share with everyone is we need them to do their part in mask wearing and maintaining social distancing and not coming if they feel sick,” Seyferth told A4 in September.

“This is a whole community effort in order to have a safe sale. For our helpers, we’re doing all the safety protocols, which include temperature checks and waivers.”
