Yards and Yards of Yard Sales 2026: Map, Dates & Shopper's Guide

Twice a year, households all across Carroll County hold yard sales on the same weekend. Yards and Yards of Yard Sales is organized by the Eureka Springs Rotary: residents get their sale on the event's shared map, and for three days the Ozark hill country from Eureka Springs out to Berryville turns into one big, scattered sale. In 2026 the summer edition runs Friday, August 7 through Sunday, August 9. Hours vary from house to house — most fall in the 8 AM to mid-afternoon range, with a few opening earlier and a few running late.

Unlike a highway yard sale strung along one road, this is a county spread across three towns. This year's map has 25 registered stops clustered around Eureka Springs, neighboring Holiday Island, and Berryville about fifteen miles east. That's the opportunity and the challenge: there's a lot to hit, but it's spread over winding Ozark roads. The trick is reading the map and building a loop, not doubling back across the county all morning.

How the weekend works

The Rotary coordinates the weekend but doesn't run the sales themselves — those are ordinary households clearing out garages, closets, and sheds. Sellers who want to be found register their address, and every registered stop lands on the event's shared map with its location pinned. That map is the real product of the weekend: it's how shoppers know where to go across a county that covers a lot of ground.

The catch is that a phone app map is hard to plan a morning from — stop by stop, spread across three towns and the roads between them. That's exactly what the map below solves: every registered address pinned, so you can build a sensible loop instead of crossing Carroll County five times.

Strategy — work one town at a time

A county-wide sale rewards a different plan than a highway event. There's no single route everyone follows; instead you're choosing which town to work and in what order. Two simple rules carry most of the morning.

• Cluster by town. The stops naturally group into Eureka Springs, Holiday Island, and Berryville — use that. Pick an area, hit everything there, then drive to the next. A dozen sales within a couple miles of each other is a far better hour than four sales spread across the county.
• Mind the drive between clusters. These are Ozark roads, not a grid — the hop from Eureka Springs to Berryville is a real fifteen-plus-minute drive. Fold it into the plan: clear one town, then make the jump once, rather than bouncing back and forth.

Go early, and use all three days. Because most sales share a short window, the best of it is on the tables first thing. With a Friday-through-Sunday event you can scout the biggest clusters Friday and come back for the towns you missed — but the popular stops thin out by late morning, so start at the top of the map and work down.

What you'll find

Eureka Springs is a Victorian arts town in the Ozarks, and the sale tables reflect that. Alongside the everyday furniture, tools, and household goods of homes being cleared or downsized, you'll turn up vintage finds, antiques, art, and decor — the kind of character that a tourist-and-artist town accumulates and eventually clears out.

Tools and garage goods come out of the established homes and the properties on the rural roads, where years of accumulation get cleared in one go — often the best hunting of the day. Retirees downsizing around Holiday Island add a steady supply of well-kept household items and collectibles.

And across the whole map you'll find the usual mix — kitchenware, glassware, books, kids' gear, and seasonal items, frequently underpriced because the seller is clearing a home, not running a booth. It's one of the best reasons to hit a county-wide sale early, since the standout pieces go fast.

Pro tips

• Work one town at a time. Eureka Springs, Holiday Island, Berryville — clear an area before making the drive to the next.
• Plan the long hop once. Berryville is a real drive from Eureka Springs; route it as a single jump, not a back-and-forth.
• Start early each day. Most sales share a short morning window; the good stuff is gone by late morning.
• Bring small bills. These are front-yard sellers, not shops — cash, and plenty of singles and fives, keeps things moving.
• Keep the map on your phone. The live map here keeps the full registered-stop list in your pocket as you drive the loop.
