Yard sale junkies, put on your walking shoes! Here's a calendar of the biggest annual yard sales in America from coast to coast, listed from longest to shortest. Enjoy the hunt and find some treasures across the country.
Each yard sale is organized a little bit differently, but the general idea is that the entire rural highway becomes a yard sale. Some parts of the roadside are not conducive to setting up vendor booths, either because of deep ditches, landscape issues, or limited access, but it’s unusual to drive far without the sale picking back up. Residents along the route can either set up their own booth or can rent space to vendors. By remaining on one rural road the whole time, you can encounter miles and miles of yard sales.
