Anaheim’s Really Really Free Market brings neighbors together at Pearson Park, set near the tennis courts, for a community exchange where no money changes hands. There is no buying, bartering, or trading, everything is offered at no cost. Participants can bring items that are clean, safe, and useful, such as craft materials, books, toys, clothing, shoes, plants, housewares, small furniture, electronics, and non-perishable food. A blanket or tarp helps create a simple display. Please allow people time and space to set up before taking items, return anything unclaimed to keep the area tidy, and do not resell what you find here. Free services and skill sharing are welcome, from haircuts, nails, mending, and repairs to teaching crochet, games, or yoga. A Food and Essentials Drive runs alongside the market with a give-what-you-can, take-what-you-need spirit, and items especially appreciated include diapers size 3 and up, wipes, laundry detergent, and toilet paper. The gathering is designed with accessibility in mind, meeting ADA standards with accessible restrooms, mostly flat terrain, no stairs, dedicated parking spaces, a wheelchair ramp, and wide doorways and walkways.

Young builders dive into Minecraft to turn imagination into detailed creations.

Focused on art, storytelling, and design, this summer program helps young creators transform imagination into practical skills through fine art, digital art, and hands on making.

Campers study how light, form, and negative space define objects, applying these ideas to subjects such as drapery, vases, animal portraits, still lifes, and human figures. Projects use both traditional media and digital tools like Procreate, with an emphasis on rendering different materials and building confidence in capturing realistic textures and vivid color.

Discover the storied home Hiram Clay Kellogg built in 1898, among the earliest Neoclassical Victorian residences in Orange County. Drawing on his passion for tall ships, he installed a three-story spiral staircase around a central mast, topped by a crow’s nest with no visible bottom. After Kellogg died in 1921, his second wife, Helen, continued living there for another 42 years and also passed away in the house. Reports of unexplained occurrences today hint that members of the Kellogg family may still linger in this uniquely designed mansion.
