<br />
'''Mapusa Friday Market''' is a traditional, regional weekly market in [[Mapusa]], [[North Goa]] and a major tourist attraction. It is located within and around the [[Mapusa]] [[Municipal]] market area.<br />
<br />
==Weekly on Friday==<br />
On each [[Friday]], many vendors from the sub-district of [[Bardez]] and the neighbouring sub-district of [[Tiswadi]], besides other areas, descend on the stalls selling a variety of local produce brought in by farmers and small entrepreneurs from all over [[Goa]] which are sold directly to the consumer. The market winds up by dusk.<br />
<br />
== The Trade ==<br />
This market reflects the essence of [[Goa]] and it is a riot of colour and noise. [[Goan]] vendors dressed in their colourful clothes come in from the surrounding villages to sell their locally grown or manufactured wares, including spices of all kinds. Fresh fruits, mostly organically grown, is sold in abundance. The market is well known for its jewellery, pottery, spice, and carpet shops. Many of the stalls in the bazaar are grouped by type of goods, with special areas for straw hats, Goan home-made chouriço and the like. Strings of [[Goan chouriço]], spiced and marinated pork sausages, are sold here. Seedless [[tamarind]], or ''amot'' as it is known locally, is also traded in great demand.<br />
