A free market is different than a vendor market or a flea market, because everything is (really) free. No money is exchanged and there’s no bartering or trading. Everything is given away freely.
If you have stuff you’d like to give away, you can bring it. (Just make sure to take away anything that’s not taken at the end of the market.) If you want or need stuff, just take it.
There are several free markets held regularly in the Triangle region of North Carolina. We keep them on the Triangle on the Cheap calendar. Read about a few of them below. Make sure to follow the links to check for updates in the schedule.

Double-Check Before You Head Out!
We make every effort to make sure that everything on Triangle on the Cheap is 100% accurate.
However, sometimes things change without notice, and it’s also possible that we can make a mistake.
Please verify all deals and events with the venue or organizer before you go.
