Really, Really Free Market of Orlando

Have you ever gotten joy from saving an item your neighbors put out on the street for garbage collection? Or discovered a friend giving away something you absolutely needed and wanted? The founders of the Really Free Market of Orlando wanted to create a time and space for that happiness to help grow a community of support.

The Really Free Market is a community gathering dedicated to sharing totally free goods and services, no bartering, trading, or prices allowed. Bring your items that need a second life and share them with others at the market. Or you can roam, mingle, and gather what you need from other people's treasures. 

What to Know About the Really Really Free Market of Orlando 

The Really Really Free Market used to be held at Festival Park and then at Lake Nona High School, but has moved locations several times. For September 2026, it is moving to Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church.

• When: The first Saturday of every month
• Time: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• Where: Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, 1655 Peel Ave., Orlando, FL 32806. 

How the Really Free Market Works

If you are bringing items, set them up on a blanket or tarp on the ground for people to see. Feel free to bring clean and undamaged clothing, art, toys, pantry items, craft supplies, electronics, decor, and personal hygiene items. If you have anything left at the end of the day, bring it back home or drop it off at a donation center on your way home. 

If you are there to browse, feel free to talk and connect with other people and take what you need. For more information, visit the Really Free Market Instagram.

How It Works: The Rules of the Market

The rules are simple: 

• No Money Allowed: You cannot buy, sell or barter.
• Take What You Need: You do not have to give something to take something. If you see a book, a piece of clothing or a household item you want, it is yours.
• Take Back Your Leftovers: If you bring items to share and nobody claims them by 1 p.m., you must pack them up and take them home with you. The market organizers do not have a cleanup crew or a dumpster.

What Can You Bring or Find?

Because the market relies entirely on what the community brings, no two events are exactly the same. However, you can expect a variety of goods and services:

• Physical Items: Clothes, shoes, books, toys, kitchenware, small furniture, plants, seeds and nonperishable food.
• Skills & Services: Haircuts, yoga sessions, live acoustic music, bike repair, tarot readings, or language lessons.
• Community Resources: Zines, informational pamphlets and local community organizing resources.

Tips for Attendees

• Arrive early for the best selection. Arriving at 9 a.m. gives you the widest variety to browse.
• Bring bags or a box: No shopping bags or boxes are provided. 
• Ensure items are clean and usable. If you are donating, make sure clothes are washed and electronics work. Think of it as giving to a friend.
• Share a talent. Sit down with a guitar, offer to paint faces or teach someone how to knit.

Stay Updated & Verify Details

Because community events can occasionally change times or locations due to weather, holidays, or school scheduling conflicts, it is always a good idea to double-check the details the week of the event.

You can find live updates, rain-date announcements, map diagrams, and volunteer opportunities directly by visiting the official @reallyfreeorlando Instagram Page. You can also track and secure your digital entry passes on the Really Free Orlando Posh Engine.
