A Growing Trend in Dhaka
In recent years, holiday markets have become increasingly popular in Dhaka. On specific days of the week, open spaces and playgrounds across the city transform into vibrant marketplaces where small businesses and local entrepreneurs showcase their products.
A Weekly Market in Mohammadpur
Today, I’d like to introduce one such market located at the playground beside Salimullah Road in Mohammadpur. Every Sunday, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, the area comes alive with hundreds of shoppers and vendors.
Most of the sellers are small entrepreneurs and street vendors who usually sell their products in different parts of the city. This weekly market gives them a dedicated place to reach more customers and grow their businesses.
What Can You Find Here?
Visitors can find a wide variety of affordable products, including:
- Clothing
- Cosmetic items
- Handmade crafts
- Ceramic items
- Bags and shoes
- Mobile accessories
- Homemade food
- Home décor items
- And many other locally made products
A Market That Keeps Growing
Although the market started on a small scale, it has become much more popular over time. The number of both vendors and visitors continues to grow, and the market has even expanded beyond the playground onto the surrounding streets.
Final Thoughts
As Google Local Guides, we have a wonderful opportunity to support small businesses by sharing places like this with others. Every review, photo, and post helps local entrepreneurs reach more people and encourages communities to shop locally.
I’m happy to share this Holiday Market in Mohammadpur with the Local Guides community, and I hope more people will visit and support these hardworking small business owners.
Thank you!
