The event stretches nearly 400 miles from Mesquite, Texas through Louisiana to Jackson, Mississippi. Organized by the East Texas Tourism Association, towns along the Texas portion of the trail can be especially active participants. Visitors can find all kinds of antiques, collectibles and yard sale items. Twice a year, on the third weekend of April and October. For those interested in setting up shop, there is no requirement to register as an official vendor. According to the website, "Anyone can be a vendor by simply having a yard sale in their yard, in their business, or by setting up in designated vendor locations.
