The Arpora Night Market, also known as the Saturday Night Market, is one of the most vibrant and bustling attractions in North Goa, offering a kaleidoscope of colors, flavors, and experiences. The best time to visit this market is during the tourist season, which runs from November to April. During this period, Goa's weather is pleasantly cool and perfect for wandering around the market. It is recommended to visit the market on Saturdays as it operates only on this day of the week, starting in the evening around 6 PM and often going on until late at night, usually until 1-2 AM.
December and January are particularly popular months, owing to the pleasant weather and the festive atmosphere surrounding Christmas and New Year's celebrations. However, these are also the busiest months, so expect larger crowds and a more vibrant atmosphere. The market is less crowded towards the beginning and end of the season, which can provide a more relaxed shopping experience. Do keep in mind that in the monsoon season, from May to September, the market is typically closed due to the heavy rainfalls and strong winds characteristic of the region during this time.
