Dixie Highway Yard Sale

The Dixie Highway Yard Sale runs along old Highway 41 from Ringold, Georgia to Marietta, Georgia along the old two lane Highway 41. The event is held the first weekend in June.  This year, 2012, that will be June 1st through June 3rd. The weekend after Memorial Day.

I have set up just south of Calhoun the last two years. The results were very good. While there are many good spots on this celebration of the old byway my favorite is the stretch between Adairsville and Calhoun.  A service road at the Airport south of Calhoun runs parallel to a section of the road and is always full of vendors. Reseca at the Highway 136 crossing has been another hot spot in years past. Many of the shops along the route in Calhoun run sidewalk sales in conjunction with the Dixie Highway Yard Sale. I would also expect to see a lot of activity at any flea market along or near the highway

Highway 41 North Flea Market in Calhoun

The Highway 41 North Flea Market is located on the north side of Calhoun across from Battlefield Lumber and Supply. When I stopped by in early March there were about a dozen vendors set up. Lots of good used stuff. Furniture. Lawnmowers. Tools. DVD's and games. Some glassware, dishes and collectibles.

It is an outdoor market with only a couple of dozen tables but plenty of room for a vendor to set up his own. Tables were renting for four dollars a day but I would expect the price to rise to $5. It is in a great location. Definitely a place to check out if you are looking for a spot for The Dixie Highway Yard Sale coming in early June.

They have sausage and baloney sandwiches as well as coffee if you want breakfast.

My one complaint is the entrance. They have only a small driveway for entrance and exit.
