open-air market

Outdoor shopping venue

An open-air market is a marketplace where vendors sell goods outdoors, typically from stalls, tables, or temporary structures rather than enclosed shops.

These range from farmers' markets selling produce to flea markets with secondhand goods to bazaars offering crafts and clothing: We bought fresh tomatoes at the open-air market.

The atmosphere tends toward the informal and communal.
