Thursday is a traditional market day, when the city center is very bustling. The Thursday market is open year-round, and it also attracts a lot of people from surrounding municipalities. The Kankaanpää City Technical Center is responsible for the Thursday markets. If Thursday falls on a public holiday, the market day is moved to the next weekday before the Thursday in question. Market hours on Thursdays: 7 a.m.–13 p.m.
