Wednesdays (the traditional market day). Visit in the cooler hours: early morning for a quieter browse or late afternoon to sunset for atmosphere and live music. Best months are November to February when the weather is pleasant and tourist activity is high.

Tropical coastal climate — hot and humid from March to May, monsoon rains heavy from June to September (market quieter or reduced during heavy rains), and mild, pleasant winter from November to February.

No entry fee. Typical stall hours start around 09:00 and continue until late afternoon or early evening (approximately 17:00–18:00), though some vendors may open earlier or stay later during peak season.

Located beside Anjuna Beach in North Goa. Nearest major hub: Mapusa (about 8–10 km). Nearest airport: Goa International Airport (Dabolim) about 45–60 km by road. Reachable by taxi, rented scooter/motorbike, local buses and ride-hailing services. Limited parking near the market — arrive early to secure spaces.

Plan for about 2–4 hours to browse, shop and grab food; longer if you intend to relax at the beach or enjoy live music.

Light, breathable clothing, comfortable shoes for walking, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a light rain jacket in monsoon months, and a reusable shopping bag. Carry hand sanitizer and water.

Try Goan snacks (samosas, fish or vegetarian pakoras), fresh fruit juices and local sweets. Popular souvenirs include handicrafts, carved wooden items, shell or silver jewelry, pashmina-style scarves, spices (like Goan masala), traditional Azulejo-style prints and bottles of local cashew feni (where permitted).
