street market
Open-air commerce
A street market is an outdoor market where vendors sell goods from stalls, tables, or carts set up along a street or in a public square.
Street markets typically offer fresh produce, prepared food, clothing, or crafts, and may operate daily or on scheduled days: We bought vegetables at the street market.
The atmosphere tends to be livelier and more informal than indoor shopping.
