Around Town: Free Carrboro

Because there is too such thing as a free lunch! -  Carrboro's Really Really Free Market

Carrboro celebrates its 10th Annual Really Really Free Market Festival on Saturday, October 4th in the Town Commons. Besides the bounty of freebies, the day-long event will showcase live bands, puppeteers, workshops, a DJ, games and installations. Also, The Recyclery will be tuning up and restoring bicycles to give away. For updates check out reallyfreecarrboro.info

For folks who have yet to attend a Really Really Free Market event, it's true, nothing is for sale. Folks congregate ready to give away a rainbow of goods (groceries, furniture, prepared foods, music, tires, clothing) and skills/services (auto repair, carpentry and haircuts). The events begin at 2 p.m. the first Saturday of each month at the Carrboro Town Commons.

It's worth the visit.
