This word is a clear example of a German compound word: it consists of 'Woche' (week) and 'Markt' (market). A 'Wochenmarkt' (weekly market) is therefore literally a market that takes place weekly.
Auf dem Wochenmarkt gibt es die besten regionalen Produkte.
The weekly market has the best regional products.
For 'Wochenmarkt' (weekly market), the preposition 'auf' is usually used. You go 'auf den Markt' (to the market; accusative for direction) and buy something 'auf dem Markt' (at the market; dative for location).

Typical activities are 'über den Wochenmarkt bummeln' (to stroll around the weekly market) or 'auf dem Wochenmarkt einkaufen' (to shop at the weekly market).
