The Really, Really Free Market in Avon is returning and starts with its first summertime market Aug. 6 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Avon Fire Station on Harbor Road.

The Really, Really Free Market started more than a decade ago and became a valuable resource for islanders in need after several historic storms.

Everyone is welcome at this free event, where all are encouraged to give, receive and create on their own terms. The public is invited to arrive with goods, services, skills, performances, stories, crafts, food, games, music, clothing, furniture, plants and resources to share with others in the community.

Donations are always accepted the morning of the event, but are not required.

Check out the Really, Really Free Market on Facebook for information on upcoming markets.
