The 400-Mile Yard Sale, sometimes referred to as the Highway 68 Yard Sale, is an outdoor second-hand sale held annually for four days, beginning in the first weekend of June. It takes place along U.S. Route 68 (US 68) in the US state of Kentucky.[1] It is held in almost all areas along the US 68 corridor from the east side of Paducah through central Kentucky, and ending at Maysville.[2]

History
In 2011, the 400-Mile Yard Sale route added Kentucky Route 80 (KY 80) from Aurora to Murray, in Calloway and Marshall counties in Kentucky, as well as US 641 from Murray southward, extending into Henry County, Tennessee, ending in Paris.
Further information
Areas exempt from the event
A Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). stretch of the concurrently running US 68 and KY 80 in the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in western Trigg County is excluded from the yard sale route because the recreation area is the property of a government organization, the U.S. Forest Service. Another gap in the sale route, a 20-mile long (32 km) stretch of US 68 in Metropolitan Lexington and Fayette County is also excluded on account of high traffic volume, especially in downtown Lexington.[3]
Events in the area
A town-wide yard sale in the eastern Warren County town of Smiths Grove is often held during the US 68 Yard Sale just off the highway. Elkton, the Todd County seat also has a lot of yard sales during the event, even if on other streets.[2][4][5]
