More than 10,000 vendors and over 35 Major Vendor Stops await shoppers during the 39th anniversary of The World’s Longest Yard Sale. In Harrodsburg, KY 80+ vendors will be at Smock Farm with a little bit of everything.
The 127 Yard Sale stretches from Addison, Michigan, to Gadsden, Alabama, following U.S. Highway 127 and connecting travelers with more than 10,000 vendors, over 35 Major Vendor Stops, and countless roadside sales across Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.
