The Last Really Really Free Market Weekend of the Summer

The weekend of Saturday September 11 and Sunday September 12 will be the last Really Really Free Market weekend of the summer. Come share with your friends and neighbors and send the summer out with a bang!

Saturday September 11
11 AM to 4 PM
Woodruff Park
1500 Harrison Avenue NW
Olympia, WA 98502

Sunday September 12
11 AM to 4 PM
Bigelow Park

Really Really Free Markets (RRFMs) are completely free, public events where neighbors, friends and family come together in the spirit of community building, sustainability and anti-consumerism. The idea is to give away no longer needed items, find new treasures, bring/eat good food and *gasp* socialize with fellow members of our community.

Recap: Saturday's Really Really Free Market

Thank you everyone for coming out to yesterday's really really free market! The weather was beautiful, but even more satisfying was seeing people come together to share their time, company, talents, and stuff.  We should have details regarding the next really really free market later this week.

Regarding the confusion with the Wooden Boat Fair, we would like to thank all of you and all of our supporters for your understanding, support, and help in transitioning the move from the park to the back entrance of the Olympia Center. We did contact the Wooden Boat Fair, clearly stating our intentions on occupying that small corner of the park and asked them to let us know if that would be problematic. We did not expect that level of confrontation, but out of such situations serious concerns on the meaning of public space arise. It was gratifying to see everyone band together and defend our rights as taxpayers to use the very space we have payed for and designated as public. We would also like to thank the Peoples' Movement Assembly for being so gracious to host the RRFM outside their space. All though the new venue was not as ideal as the park, it all worked out rather well.
