Namyangju City Launches First '2025 Namyangju Jump Flea Market'

[Suwon Ilbo=Lim In-yong] Namyangju City announced on April 15 that it successfully opened the Sudong-myeon regional market of the '2025 Namyangju Jump Flea Market' on April 12 at Sudong Multi-Sports Center, with approximately 1,000 citizens participating.

The Jump Flea Market is a community sharing marketplace where Namyangju citizens directly participate to sell and exchange unused items, putting resource circulation into practice.

Citizens, families, and local community organizations such as daycare centers and kindergartens voluntarily participate to share recyclable items, establishing the marketplace as a venue for economic education. The event also operates as a 'disposable product-free clean venue,' contributing to the transition to a circular economy society.

Starting this year, the city plans to expand operations to 15 regional markets using neighborhood parks and vacant sites to accommodate citizens who had difficulty participating in events due to poor public transportation accessibility. Through this expansion, the city aims to increase citizen satisfaction by making it easier and more convenient for residents to participate in the Jump Flea Market in their daily lives.

The city will subsequently hold the Dasan-dong regional market at Wangsuk Stream Water Playground on April 19 and the Hopyeong-dong regional market at Neul Jungang Park on April 26. The Jump Flea Market will continue to operate every Saturday through the end of October, excluding the hottest summer season, bringing the event closer to citizens.
