<br>
The Really Really Free Market is a festival where no money is exchanged, no bartering or trading takes place. Everything is free. The community is invited to bring under-used items (like that skateboard in your attic or sewing kit you never use) and skills and services (think: free back-rubs and bike tune-ups) and give them away. Everyone is welcome to a party where there's no distinction between those that have and those in need. And of course, the event is really really free.<br>
