Host a Swap Meet or Really Really Free Market. Share Tompkins events have been held in family homes, warehouses, community buildings and even on The Commons. It can be handy to host an event when you have a lot of stuff at your home or business that you want to give away or barter. Contact us if you can help out!

Hello, I have been active in some of the other events and groups here in Ithaca.
I live in Syracuse and would be interested in starting this event in Syracuse.
It is such a great event and opportunity for the community to come together.
Glad you dig it! I bet Syracuse would be a great place to try holding an event like this. All we did before we started was put up fliers and hold a meeting, to find other people to help make it happen. That’s where our core group of volunteers came from – we’ve been going strong ever since!
