weekend markets

Sunday shopping gatherings

Weekend markets are outdoor or semi-permanent marketplaces that operate on Saturdays and Sundays, typically featuring local vendors selling produce, crafts, antiques, or prepared foods.

They range from farmers markets to flea markets to artisan bazaars: We found amazing ceramics at the weekend markets in Bangkok.

The plural suggests a regular occurrence or multiple market locations rather than a single event.
