Village Hat is an open-air market that serves as a trading venue for local producers and buyers in rural areas. And Kaikartek Hat is one of them. And this the part of our intangible cultural Heritage. Because almost 200 years plus old Kaikartek Hat. And it is disappearing day by day. The market is losing its tradition due to a lack of reform. Market days are less busy than before. The Hat is held every Sunday of the week and that's why also called Sunday Hat. This Hat is located in the Kaikartek area of the Mograpara union of Sonargaon Upazila of Narayanganj.

The Hat is built on the bank of the Brahmaputra river with beautiful surroundings and ancient landmarks. It is known that Kaikartek Hat is located on about 50 bighas of land. The market was set up on the banks of the river to facilitate the transportation of goods by water and road. But with the passage of time, the courtship of Hat is going to be lost.
