Public Squares and City Sidewalks are definitely public, the flea market
depends on location, but most are on private property in my experience.
Generally public spaces applies to sidewalks, streets, public parks and
public squares.
IANAL however.

into people forbiding me to photograph in public squares, flea markets,
local parks, and city sidewalks.
