The other main attraction, especially in the summer months, is Alkmaar's cheese market at the Waagplein, one of the country's most popular tourist attractions. The cheese market traditionally takes place from the first Friday in April through the first Friday in September. Every Friday morning (10:00–12:30) the Waagplein is the backdrop for this traditional cheese market. After the old-fashioned way of the hand clap, traders and carriers will weigh the cheeses. It is one of only four traditional <a href="/wiki/Dutch_cheese_markets" title="Dutch cheese markets">Dutch cheese markets</a> still in existence. The traditional fare of this cheese market is those cheeses made in the local area, as opposed to the well-known brands of Dutch cheeses, including the <a href="/wiki/Edam_cheese" title="Edam cheese">Edam</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gouda_cheese" title="Gouda cheese">Gouda cheeses</a>. It is not actually possible to buy cheese at the market itself, which is really only a demonstration of how this merchants' market operated in times gone by. However, the demonstration, which takes place in front of the medieval weighing house, is surrounded by many specialized stalls where it is possible to buy all kinds of cheese (and non-cheese) related products. The <a href="/wiki/Weigh_house" title="Weigh house">Waag</a> is also home to the local tourist office and a cheese museum.
