About Us

In the United States, Bangamela® was started in Middle America and has over time grown and is celebrated coast to coast. The festival is usually held in community centers, temples, or other venues. The celebration of Bangamela in the US usually begins with a traditional opening ceremony, followed by cultural performances and competitions such as music, dance, natok and recitation of Bengali poetry. A big highlight of the festival is the delicious traditional Bengali food that is served.

Visitors can also find various traditional Bengali arts and crafts such as sarees, jewellery, and other items. The festivity is a way for Bengali-Americans to connect with their cultural roots and for the community to come together and celebrate their heritage and traditions. Bangamela events in the US also provide an opportunity for non-Bengali individuals and families to learn about Bengali culture, traditions, and heritage. Some events are open to the general public, and can be a great way for people of different backgrounds to come together and experience the vibrant culture of Bengal.

Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that Bangamela events in the US are often organized and run by volunteers from the Bengali community, who put in a lot of hard work and effort to make the event a success. These events are a great way for community members to come together and contribute their time, skills, and resources to celebrate and promote Bengali culture.
