The Divisoria district is the commercial heart of Cagayan de Oro and the place to get a sense of the city's trading culture. The market sells everything from fresh produce and dried fish to textiles, electronics, and cheap clothing. The nearby Plaza Divisoria is where the famous Friday and Saturday night market sets up — open-air food stalls and live music making it the liveliest place in the city after dark.
The daytime market is worth a walk through for the sensory experience rather than any specific purchase. The night market is genuinely enjoyable: grilled pork, corn, tropical fruit, and cold beer at plastic tables while a live band plays somewhere nearby. No entrance fee. Located along Tirso Neri Street.
