Discover the Joy of Giving and Receiving at Downtown Cary Free Market
On March 14, 2026, the Downtown Cary Free Market presents a wonderful opportunity for community members to come together and share resources without the hustle of buying, selling, or trading. Best of all, it's completely free!
Located at the Herbert Young Community Center, this market encourages people to give away items they no longer need while having the chance to pick up useful items brought by others. Whether you have old clothes, books, or household items gently used and no longer serving a purpose, you can drop them off or simply browse and take something home without any obligation. This zero-cost method of sharing fosters a sense of community and conscientious consumption.
Running the Event Smoothly
Those planning to attend are encouraged to arrive early by 9 a.m. to ease traffic flow and allow for the best selection of items. The market runs until 11 a.m., and it’s important to note that if you bring items along to donate, please remember to take home anything that isn’t given away. This ensures the space remains clean and welcoming for future events.
Weather Contingency Plans
Don't let the weather deter your generosity! In the case of rain, the event will shift to the lower level of the parking deck. Thus, it's always a prudent plan to check the forecast before heading out.
