The 90 mile Dixie Highway Yard Sale is an annual event that spans ninety miles from Ringgold on through Acworth. This yard sale is also a historic driving tour along the Dixie Highway. In fact, one of the frequently purchased items is a souvenir version of the Dixie Highway road sign. In addition to the yard sale event, organizers in each area are promoting everything the communities have to offer throughout the year.
The yard sale takes place starting on the first Friday of the first full weekend in June and begins at 8 am on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There are plenty of great restaurants along the route, and signs will be in place to direct you to the yard sales.

WILL THIS BE WORTH A 6 HOUR DRIVE AND 2 NIGHTS IN A MOTEL???
Thanks for the comment, we updated the article to reflect this year’s dates.
I would absolutely love to take part in this! I’m wondering if Acworth has any spots open to rent though, or if we’re allowed to just find space wherever? I live just off of Main Street (just a street or two down from where the above picture was taken actually). Can I just hunt out a spot and set up a table?
what are the dates for the sale in 2016
Hi Toni,
We just updated the article with the 2016 dates – June 3, 4 and 5, 2016.
Where are you allowed to set up at in downtown Acworth?
I live in Rome Ga and was thinking the spaces in Adairsville near center of town would be awesome spots near gas station. Who do we contact for rental spaces or re there free ones?
The Dixie Hwy. website doesn’t say………..Where can we rent a space in Acworth and/or Kennesaw? I was not at last year’s so I am uncertain where the typical areas are or the prices.
There’s a flea market at 92 and 41 you can rent space at day of. Just show up early and get a booth. Affordable
You can set up any where along Hwy 41 for FREE . The only places you must ask and they may charge a fee is private owners of land,businesses and homes.
when is the 2017 90 mile yard sale
Dates in 2022 pls.
I know it’s a bit early, I’m needing a decently size area to set up for the upcoming 2023 41 sale this year. No electric required or bathroom ( I have my own). I have everything from A-Z. If you are renting spots this year in the Calhoun or acworth area, I’d love to speak with you. Thanks
I am looking for a space to rent as well.
Hi! Please contact us – stacey.olsen@thecrazybookladyga.com we have a large parking lot right off of exit 278 in Acworth off of I-75 that we are going to allow vendors to set up this year.
Will there be a yard sale for 2023? I haven’t seen any announcements or dates.
How do I participate, where do I set up or who do I contact
2024 dates?
Does anyone know when the 2024 Dixie Highway Yard Sale will be?
Adairsville rerouted the route from the Old Dixie Highway
to the US 41 Highway because more vendors had set up
on that route. Adairsville is a horrible place.
Adairsville is not a horrible place. It is growing.
I agree I live on north main street close to new Life Ministries just pass where the old 41 aka original Dixie highway crossing the highway 140 and when this yard sale first started few years back everyone done good down the stretch where I live to police station I know but past few years hardly anyone has been setting up if that continues to be the case they need to change name to highway 41 yard sale cause that’s not old Dixie highway especially in adairsville
Where can you get spaces for this and is there people or numbers to call?
Where can I get a space for Old Dixie Hwy yard sale in Acworth this weekend June 7-9, 2024? If anyone know of a spot please let me know.
2024??? ANYTHING?!
