It’s time for the long awaited Spring edition of the Free Market! Come join us on May 30th from 6-9PM at the containR site in Sunnyside right next to the train!
GIVE WHAT YOU CAN. TAKE WHAT YOU NEED.
What do you have to give? Words of encouragement, a dance, a short lesson, mechanical assistance, an entertaining thought or an item you no longer appreciate that could be cherished in the hands of a friend you’ve never met. To attend, you simply need to bring yourself and something to give. We all have something to offer.
Come explore our experimental market where we collaboratively create an atmosphere that focuses on sharing what we know and offering what we have. A market where the current monetary economic, capitalist and consumer based structures are temporarily turned off. This market requires you to make it on your own. No money is required.
Please show up at 6pm to set up your area. Registration is not necessary but space is limited to a first-come-first-serve basis. Do not bring anything that you do not with to give away or wouldn’t mind going missing. Limited tables and chairs are available.
