Addison, MI – The 127 Yard Sale, which is called the World’s Longest Yard Sale, will take place the weekend of August 3rd through 6th.
The 690 miles stretch of sales spans across 6 states, including Michigan. Addison is the northernmost point of the 127 Yard Sales, with the southern tip being Gadsden, Alabama.
According to the website 127yardsale.com, the event began in 1987. Mike Walker, former Fentress County Executive in Jamestown, Tennessee, planned the event to encourage travelers to bypass interstate highways such as I-40 and I-75 in favor of scenic routes that would take them through rural communities and allow them to experience what the small towns and cities had to offer.
