The countdown has begun – the World’s Longest Yard Sale – “2018 Edition” – is just around the corner.  

Brace yourself for four fun-filled, action-packed, over-the-top, shop ‘til you drop days, next Thursday – Sunday, August 2nd – 5th as thousands of bargain hunters, wheeler dealers and curiosity seekers alike, pack the highways and byways for a 690 mile stretch from Gadsden, Alabama to somewhere called Addison, Michigan.

The 127 Yard Sale, more commonly referred to as the “World’s Longest Yard Sale” (because that’s just what it is) runs through six states – Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan. 

We hope everyone has fun, but we urge everyone to exercise caution in congested areas and be especially mindful of small children as you drive the route.  Make it a year that’s safe for all.
