Every first full weekend in June, the historic Dixie Highway through northwest Georgia turns into 90 miles of open-air shopping. The Dixie Highway Yard Sale runs Friday through Sunday along the old two-lane corridor — not the newer four-lane Highway 41, but the original Dixie Highway that winds through eleven communities from Ringgold in the north all the way to Acworth, with sales spilling into Kennesaw and Marietta at the southern end.

The corridor passes through some of Georgia's most scenic foothills. Towns like Dalton, Calhoun, Cartersville, and Emerson each draw their own clusters of sellers, so the density stays high the entire length of the route. Most experienced shoppers pick a 30-40 mile stretch and work it both days rather than trying to cover all 90 miles in a single run.

Sellers register through the event's Georgia Dixie Highway Association, which coordinates participation across all eleven communities. Hours vary by seller but most run 8 AM to dusk across all three days.
