CROSSVILLE, Tenn. — Calling all treasure hunters, pickers and antique collectors: "The World's Longest Yard Sale" is about to begin again in East Tennessee!
People who love one good bargain after another look forward to the 127 Yard Sale each summer on the first Thursday in August. Dubbed "The World's Longest Yard Sale," vendors set up their goods along a 690-mile stretch of Highway 127 that runs from Michigan to Alabama.
In Tennessee, the highway runs through Fentress and Cumberland counties down through Chattanooga. Vendors will be setting up their goods starting at the Cumberland Mountain General Store in Clarkrange, moving south along Highway 127 through Crossville and into Pikeville.
The event begins Thursday, Aug. 3 and runs until Sunday, Aug. 6. You can find a map of vendors from Clarkrange to Pikeville below. Click here for a full version of the Tennessee vendor map.
The 127 Yard Sale originally was created in 1987 by Fentress County leaders and stretched across 350 miles through Kentucky and Tennessee. County leaders said the original purpose was to get people to visit rural communities that the interstate system bypassed.
