# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Free Market & Mutual Aid Fest
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 17 May, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Sun, 17 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Something different is coming to ArtPark this spring. The Free Market & Mutual Aid Fest is a chance to rethink how we share, no money, no bartering, just neighbors helping neighbors.

The idea is simple: bring what you can, take what you need, and be mindful about what you contribute. This isn’t about offloading junk; it’s about passing along useful items and reducing waste together. It’s a small shift that can make a big impact.

Bring a table or blanket, consider a canopy for shade, and plan to stay in your area during the event. At the end of the day, anything left goes back home with you. Most importantly, only bring items that are clean, usable, and in good condition.

No cost, no catch, no sign-ups, no fees, just a different kind of value.

We’re also looking for volunteers to help with the mending station. Send us a message!
