CHATTANOOGA, TN – Every summer, a massive event unfolds across the heart of America, drawing bargain hunters and road trippers to a sprawling marketplace unlike any other. Known as the 127 Yard Sale, this four-day extravaganza stretches 690 miles through six states, with Tennessee serving as a key stop along the route. Set for August 7-10 in 2025, the event invites locals and travelers alike to explore a treasure trove of goods while soaking in the charm of small towns and scenic highways.
A Journey Across Six States
The 127 Yard Sale, often dubbed the Highway 127 Corridor Sale, covers an impressive path from Michigan down to Alabama.
Starting in 1987, the event was the brainchild of Mike Walker from Fentress County, Tennessee.
What began as a modest sale along US 127 between Covington, Kentucky, and Chattanooga, Tennessee, has since grown into a multi-state phenomenon, adding routes like Lookout Mountain Parkway to include Georgia and Alabama, and later expanding into Ohio and Michigan.
690 Miles of Deals and Delights
Today, this colossal yard sale boasts a total distance of 690 miles, making it the longest of its kind anywhere.
For four days each August, vendors line the route with everything from antiques to everyday items, attracting seasoned shoppers and curious newcomers.
Organizers even provide a detailed turn-by-turn map for those eager to tackle the full journey, though many opt to explore just a section near home.
Tennessee’s Role in the Adventure
Tennessee shines as a central hub for the event, blending Southern hospitality with a vibrant mix of finds.
Beyond the shopping, the route offers plenty to see and do—think fishing spots, state parks, and quaint towns brimming with character. It’s a chance to hit the road, snag a bargain, and enjoy a slice of Americana all at once.
The 127 Yard Sale continues to grow, welcoming more participants each year. Whether you’re a veteran vendor or a first-time visitor, this event promises a one-of-a-kind experience. This year, my hubby Jack and I plan on making a road trip out of this fun event! Maybe we’ll see you there! Hehe.
