The Peaches to Beaches Yard Sale
The Peaches to Beaches Yard Sale extends across Georgia for more than 200 miles, from the mid-state peach growing region to the coast. The sale, which takes place annually on the second Friday and Saturday of March, follows U.S. Highway 341, also called the Golden Isles Parkway for much of the length of the route. Community sale sites, located in small towns and cities along the way, are generally not more than 10 to 20 miles apart.Related Information:

The 400 Mile Sale
First held in 2004 and growing in popularity ever since, the 4-day 400 Mile Sale takes place each year during the first weekend in June (beginning on the Thursday before the weekend). The sale route follows a recently designated Scenic Byway along Highway 68 (and Route 80), which travels through the rolling hills of Kentucky's picturesque Bluegrass region, where there are many historic sites, beautiful horse farms and unique small towns. In addition to the hundreds of yard sales, antique shops and food vendors, an array of special events take place along the way to add to the fun.Related Information:
