Things to do in Middle Georgia: Peaches to the Beaches

Annually since 2005, on the second Friday and Saturday in March (9th and 10th), Highway 341 in Georgia becomes home to Georgia's Longest Yard Sale.

This event, appropriately named "Peaches to the Beaches" passes through nearly 25 participating communities from Perry to Brunswick.

Free to the public, and open from 8:00am to 6:00pm, buyers are sure to find both trinkets and treasures on the 220 mile journey from middle Georgia to the SE coast of Georgia.

Interested vendors should follow the Golden Isles Parkway link for more details.
