August's Really Really Free Market was a huge success. so we are doing it again at East Phillips Park. We were inside in the main area last time so assume we will be back there, just follow signs. The September Really, Really Free Market will be in East Phillips Park, 2399 S 17th Ave, Minneapolis on Saturday, September 1, from 1-3 PM. This is a new start and end time because of park building hours. Minneapolis Public Schools start August 27 so we know a lot of people will either be giving away outgrown kids stuff or looking to get "new" things for the school year - come do both at once. Everything here is FREE: offer what you'd like to give and take what you would like to receive. Food, music, and company are as welcome as objects. Enjoy an afternoon in the gift economy! Please treat everything as a gift, and please take back with you any things that you have brought that nobody has taken.
