A street market is an outdoor market such as traditionally held in a market square or in a market town, and often held only on particular days of the week. Very similar markets, or bazaars, can also be found in large enclosed spaces, instead of on a street.
Famous quotes containing the words street and/or market:
“When I pass people on the street I want to stop them and say, listen, I got a fella.”
—Sydney Carroll, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Rossen. Sarah (Piper Laurie)
“Talk of a divinity in man! Look at the teamster on the highway, wending to market by day or night; does any divinity stir within him? His highest duty to fodder and water his horses! What is his destiny to him compared with the shipping interests?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
