Share Tompkins' second Really Really Free Market is part of the Congo

sustainability!

Southside Community Center
305 S. Plain St. Ithaca
The Congo Square Market takes place 4-8pm every Friday through
September 3rd and features live local music & dancing, visiting with
friends and vendors selling food, instruments & more. Vendor fees and
fruit and vegetable stand proceeds support Southside and the Congo
Square Market.
Share Tompkins helps folks share and trade goods and services in
Ithaca and Tompkins County.
Named for the famous Congo Square in New Orleans, the market honors
African-American history. In the early days of US slavery, recently
enslaved African peoples and others could gather in Congo Square for
music, dance, and stories. The Ithaca Congo Square Market is a project
of Southside Community Center, Ithaca Youth Bureau’s, Paul Scheurs
Memorial Program, and Tompkins County Cornell Cooperative Extension's
Whole Community Project.
