Chamorro Village Night Market
Chamorro Village
A Chamorro cultural market in the capital, Hagåtña. The Wednesday night market offers grilled meats, red rice, handicrafts and traditional dance, the best window into local life.
Chamorro Village sits on the seafront of Hagåtña, the capital, and is made up of a group of buildings with Spanish-style arcades. On most days it has restaurants and souvenir shops, but every Wednesday evening it turns into Guam's liveliest night market. Vendors grill big skewers of Chamorro-style barbecue (chicken, pork ribs and beef skewers), served with annatto-dyed red rice (hineksa' agaga'), spicy lemon chicken (kelaguen) and finadene soy-chili dipping sauce. You will also find coconut candy, coconut crab, handmade crafts and works by island artists. Chamorro traditional dance and music performances are often held on site, and visitors can join in. Getting there: it is about 15 minutes by taxi from Tumon Bay, and the Red Guahan Shuttle usually runs a special night-market route on Wednesday evenings. Note: Wednesday crowds are large and parking is tight. Most vendors take cash, so bring small bills.
