DAY-OF PLAN
Know the sequence before you go.
Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
01
Use the daytime market for produce and daily goods
The official market page lists closure on the first and third Sunday. Individual fish, produce, food and household merchants still keep their own useful hours and stock.
02
Check the current April-October notice
The night market is a separate Shincheon riverside operation: Friday-Saturday 6:00-11:30 PM and Sunday, Monday or Thursday 6:00-10:30 PM are the published pattern, with Tuesday-Wednesday closed. Dates can change.
03
Choose the exact stall and final return
Confirm price, portion, allergens, shared oil, card acceptance and seating at the vendor, then leave enough time for the last train, bus or safe riverside walk.
No. The published seasonal pattern closes Tuesday and Wednesday, and weather or dated notices can still change other nights.
Do all daytime shops stay open until 7:00 PM?
No. That is the market-level published window; every merchant controls its own hours, stock and closure.
Are the operating details for Chilseong Market live?
The displayed guidance was checked August 29, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.
Can a traveller correct this page?

Search “대구 칠성시장 야시장” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
