Are you interested in the flea markets of Brest? As such, there are no flea markets in Brest, but fairs on weekends are held in the city several times a year (dates and times need to be specified in advance), where you can talk with like-minded people and buy things you like completely free of charge (people bring there everything that is lying in closets and became unnecessary), including vintage, and collectibles.
Free Market
This fair usually takes place at 1 Zhukova Street, on the site next to the center of culture and leisure. Here people bring clothes that have become out of size for them or fashionable new clothes that have become not to their taste (all this is neatly hung on hangers, and fair visitors are offered to try on clothes in the building of a culture and leisure center). In addition to clothing, the fair will offer bags, hats, shoes, jewelry, old videotapes, toys and much more. It is worth noting that things that have not found new owners are transferred to shelters, churches and other social institutions.
Free books
At this fair, which usually takes place at the corner of Sovetskaya and Mayakovsky streets, everyone will be able to share the books they have already read, presenting them to new readers, as well as find a book that could not be found on store shelves, thereby replenishing their home library with interesting literary works. Here you can find children's books, glossy magazines, classics, detective stories, medical and mathematical reference books, cookbooks, novels in German and English.
Other retail outlets
If you are a collector, it will be interesting for you to attend specialized meetings that are held in the cinema "May 1" (Sovetskaya street, 31) on Sundays from 9 am to 1 pm.
