Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – September 21, 2024 – Imagine being a yard sale fan and spending your Saturday driving all over town, from one yard sale to another. The imagine multiple yard sales — over 60 booths – in one location.

That’s what you’ll find at the “World’s Largest Yard Sale” from 7am til 1pm today in the Arkansas State University Baseball Field parking lot adjacent to the Embassy Suites Hotel, and across the street from First National Bank Arena.

Is it really the “world’s largest?” “In my world it is, but my world is really small,” laughed Lynn Stillwell, one of the coordinators.

The Jonesboro Radio Group organizes the event twice each year: once in the fall, once in the spring.

“Come here, it’s like going to 75 yard sales in one location,” said Tyler Titzer with the Jonesboro Radio Group. “Everything from antiques to classy trash and everything in-between.”

Admission to the event is $3 for adults (cash only). 12 and under are admitted free.

There are also concessions. “The Mad Mexican” and “Dad’s Barbecue” are on site today.
