Berkeley Free Market Held on First Saturday of Month
Really, Really Free Market Comes to the East Bay
Berkeley has a new Really, Really Free Market, which takes place on the first Saturday of each month. On Saturday, August 6th, an "Anarchist Masseur" provided free massages next to blankets that held books, clothing, and other assorted items...all for free! Photos The really, really free market is like a flea market, except that everything is free! Anyone can bring stuff and set it out for people to browse and take home.

The first Really, Really Free Market in the Bay Area was held in Union Square in June of 2004, during the week of Reclaim the Commons protest against a biotech industry conference. (Report | Photos) Really, Really Free Markets are now held on the last Saturday of each month in San Francisco's Dolores Park (Read more). San Francisco Really, Really Free Market website

Really, Really Free Markets are held in Berkeley from 12-4pm on the first Saturday of the month, at MLK Park, next to the Farmers' Market, at Martin Luther King Way and Allston Way. People are encouraged to bring their talents such as juggling, poetry, music, bodywork, and art, as well as stuff that is still cool or working, and set it out for people to take...for free! So far, there have been two markets in Berkeley (July and August). The next Berkeley Free Market will be on September 3rd.
