Early Start for Sellers, Relaxed Stroll for Visitors
The market opens on Saturday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and on Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Sellers gain entry two hours before the sales begin. This creates a lively scene of setting up, sorting, and bargaining early in the morning, before the large flows of visitors arrive for browsing.
