A market day is the time of the week when the town’s public market is filled with friuts, vegetables, seafoods, and other products delivered fresh from Iloilo’s farmlands, fishponds, and seas. To the traveller, the market day also provides the advantage of having more transportation options to the town’s barangays. For example, visiting Concepcion town during market day means that there are more passenger and fishing boats en route to the town’s islands and beaches docked at the town’s sea port that a visitor can ride or negotiate with.

Hello. Guimbal’s market day is every Thursday not Tuesday. :)

In the city’s districts also…they have market days. I only know one though, Jaro, which is on a Thursday.
Market Day in Leon is actually Saturday but farmers from remote barangays start to come down Wednesday to sell their products.
