From vintage Elvis records in Alabama to hand-carved rocking chairs in Kentucky, bargain hunters are flocking to the 127 Yard Sale, 690 miles of pure paradise for yard sale shoppers.
Dubbed the “World’s Longest Yard Sale,” the event stretches from Addison, Mich., to Gadsden and runs from Aug. 7-10, this year. Every summer, thousands of vendors line the 127 Corridor with tables of treasures, turning small towns into antique goldmines.
The starting point is in Addison at Siggy Parker’s General Store, where shoppers will head south on U.S. Highway into Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, where shoppers will stop at Noccalula Falls Park.
Spanning 690 miles, the route is lined with vendors set up along roadsides, in front yards and at designated sale hubs. Shoppers can expect everything from quirky collectables and vintage treasure to the occasional hidden gem. And it’s not just about bargains, there’s plenty of food and fresh produce up for grabs.
Along the route, you’ll find clusters of vendors gathered in what organizers call “major vendor spots,” which are popular spots with dozens of sellers in one place. Most vendors typically open around 8 a.m. and close by 5 p.m., though hours can vary since each seller sets their schedule.
What are the major stops in Alabama?
In Alabama, you’ll find four major vendor stops as well as four stops that will have multiple vendors but are not considered major vendor stops.
The major vendor stops include:
Noccalula Falls Park, Gadsden
2266 Tabor Road, Gadsden
The Collinsville Crossroads, Collinsville
Akins Shady Pines, Fort Payne
Of course, it’s not just about the shopping. The scenic drive itself is winding through small towns, rolling hills and Lookout Mountain Parkway, which is part of the charm.
