community market
Neighborhood shopping gathering
A community market is a local gathering where residents buy and sell goods—typically produce, crafts, or prepared foods—often outdoors or in a shared public space.
Unlike supermarkets, community markets emphasize direct transactions between neighbors and local vendors: The community market runs every Saturday morning in the town square.
The term sometimes applies to small grocery stores serving a particular neighborhood.
