Welcome to Kuopio Market!

Welcome to Kuopio Market Square, also known as "the center of the world"! Kuopio Market is a bustling marketplace, with thousands of people passing through daily. It is located right in the heart of Kuopio, between the City Hall and the Market Hall, surrounded by shopping centers and popular pedestrian streets.

The market is open not only to professional entrepreneurs but also to individuals who occasionally sell their goods. You can sell homemade baked goods or second-hand items, for example! Market stall prices start at 8 euros. The market supervisor will guide sellers to an available spot. The selling fee can be paid on-site with cash or a bank card.

Kuopio Market regulations

Kuopio Market Regulations define the general operating rules and practices for Kauppatori, Satamatori, and the breakwater's sales and event areas.

The regulations are supplemented by guidelines and announcements issued by the Market Committee, as well as instructions from the market supervisor. By operating within the market areas or on the breakwater, individuals commit to adhering to these regulations, along with any directives given by market personnel and authorities.

1.3 Purpose of the Market Regulations

The goal is to ensure that the Kauppatori and Satamatori remain lively marketplaces, enhanced by various events, performances, and activities. The market serves as an open meeting point for the people of Kuopio and as a tourist attraction, with the shared aim of maintaining its year-round appeal.

The market regulations establish common guidelines to ensure the market best serves the needs of various user groups, including:

• Market and city center visitors
• Local residents
• Merchants
• Event organizers
• Performers
  
  These regulations, approved by the Kuopio Market Committee on April 5, 2024, apply to Kauppatori, Satamatori, the pedestrian street area bordering the market between Kauppakatu and Puijonkatu, and the breakwater’s event and sales areas.
