Get Ready to Rummage! The World's Longest Yard Sale is Back!

Calling all bargain hunters and road trip enthusiasts! The legendary World’s Longest Yard Sale is rolling back into town August 7th-10th, and you DO NOT want to miss it. This ain't your grandma's garage sale – we're talking a colossal, multi-state shopping extravaganza stretching a mind-boggling 690 miles from Gadsden, Alabama, all the way to Addison, Michigan!

Hit the Road, Jack (and Jill!)

This epic route kicks off in Alabama and snakes along the ridiculously scenic Lookout Mountain Parkway, waltzing through Fort Payne before dipping into Chattanooga, Tennessee. From there, you can keep the good times (and the good deals) rolling along Highway 127 through Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and finally, Michigan! The whole shebang was designed to lure travelers off those boring interstates and into the heart of charming small towns. Brilliant, right?

What Treasures Await?

Prepare to be amazed! Hundreds of vendors will be setting up shop along the roadsides, offering everything under the sun. We're talking antiques, collectibles, furniture that's seen some things, dishware to make your grandma jealous, fresh-from-the-farm produce, and homemade jams and jellies that'll knock your socks off. Plus, keep an eye out for tasty food vendors and live entertainment to keep your energy levels up!

Alabama's Scenic Slice

Don't miss the 93-mile stretch along Alabama’s Lookout Mountain Parkway! Seriously, publications like Reader’s Digest and Southern Living are obsessed. Think breathtaking waterfalls, dramatic canyons, panoramic vistas, and a charming mix of small towns and parks. It's a visual feast!

Pro Tips for Pros

Vendors usually open their doors around 8 a.m. and keep the party going until evening. While some might take cards, cash is king! Comfy shoes are a must, bug spray and sunscreen are your BFFs, and don't forget to pack snacks and water to stay hydrated on your epic adventure.
