A bike, a book, your favorite record, even a unique sweater was fair game\u2014but really, it was that drive of discovery that kept us excited and looking. Of course, when it comes to this serendipitous adrenaline, the bigger the community and the bigger the yard sale, the better.<\/p><p>That being said, is there a limit? Is there a yard sale that\u2019s too big? We\u2019ll happily say no, we\u2019re more than glad to welcome any yard sale onto our site and into our hearts, no matter the size. However, not all yard sales are created equal, and there are some that push the envelope of what might be \u201ctoo big\u201d quite a bit. Specifically? We\u2019re talking about the largest\u2014or rather, the longest\u2014yard sale in the world.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.127yardsale.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-959 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yardsalesearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/worlds-longest-yard-sale.png\" alt=\"garage sales, yard sales, largest garage sale, largest yard sale, where are the worlds largest garage sales, where is the largest garage sale, where is the largest yard sale, where the worlds largest yard sales\" width=\"790\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yardsalesearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/worlds-longest-yard-sale.png 790w, https:\/\/yardsalesearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/worlds-longest-yard-sale-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/yardsalesearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/worlds-longest-yard-sale-768x418.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>For yard sale enthusiasts looking for an Event with a capital E, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.127yardsale.com\/\">127 Yard Sale<\/a> is a must-see. Officially, it goes on for three days, the first Friday through Sunday of August each year (although many shops set up weeks before). Why is it so impressive? It goes on for an unbelievable 690 miles, starting in Gadsden, Alabama, cutting through Georgia, traveling up through Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio, and finally ending up in Addison, Michigan. Six states! Growing up we considered ourselves lucky if the community yard sale went into a second neighborhood!<\/p><p>Every year, hundreds of thousands of people join this massive event either as vendors or buyers. Many attempt to travel the length and visit as many stands as possible, and while this isn\u2019t impossible, it isn\u2019t all that feasible either. Assuming you want to cover that distance during those three official days, and assuming you\u2019re moving at a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Speed_limits_in_the_United_States_by_jurisdiction#:~:text=Speed%20limits%20in%20the%20United%20States%20vary%20depending%20on%20jurisdiction,in%20the%20Eastern%20United%20States.\">reasonable 70 mph<\/a>, the driving alone would take around 10 hours. Sure, certainly much shorter than even a single day, but that\u2019s leaving any sort of rest stops out of the count, not to mention the time you need to spend at hundreds of different stands along the way.<\/p><p>In addition to the time spent at countless shops during this yard sale pilgrimage, there are plenty of other non-shopping activities that might catch your attention along the way. In Michigan, you\u2019ll find <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flavorfruitfarm.com\/\">Meckley\u2019s Flavor Fruit Farm &amp; Cidery<\/a>. In Ohio, you\u2019ll run into the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flavorfruitfarm.com\/\">VanWert Ribfest<\/a>. In Kentucky, you can find <a href=\"http:\/\/shakervillageky.org\/the-river\/\">The Dixie Belle River Boat<\/a>. In Tennessee, you\u2019ll find the largest waterfall open to the public, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rubyfalls.com\/\">Ruby Falls<\/a>. In Georgia, you\u2019ll find <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chattanoogafun.com\/attractions\/members\/chickamauga-chattanooga-national-military-park-99\">Chickamauga &amp; Chattanooga National Military Park<\/a>. Finally, in Alabama, you\u2019ll find the beautiful sights of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alapark.com\/desoto-state-park\">Desoto State Park and Desoto Falls<\/a>. Needless to say, there\u2019s no shortage of sights to see along the path.<\/p><p>With a magnificent trail such as this one, we think it\u2019s fair game to say that yard sales are some of the greatest events to ever grace the face of the planet. So, whether it\u2019s during this massive event or otherwise, we say, long live the yard sale!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-78877930 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"78877930\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4b503455\" data-id=\"4b503455\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62a83f53 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"62a83f53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18648537 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18648537\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardsalesearch.com\/\">Yard Sale Search<\/a> is the most popular platform to post your yard sales and garage sales online.
