পহেলা বৈশাখ ( ১৪৩৩ বঙ্গাব্দ ) / Bengali New Year 2026

Pohela Boishakh is the Bengali New Year and one of the most important cultural celebrations for people from Bangladesh and the wider Bengali community. It marks the first day of the Bengali calendar and is traditionally celebrated on 14 April.

This special day represents new beginnings, hope, and unity. In Bangladesh, people celebrate by wearing traditional clothes, enjoying cultural music and performances, sharing traditional food, and spending time with family, friends, and the community.

The celebration is not only about welcoming a new year but also about honouring Bengali culture, heritage, and identity. It brings people together to celebrate traditions and share the spirit of the Bengali New Year with everyone.

Join us as we celebrate Pohela Boishakh together with culture, community, and joy.

শুভ নববর্ষ! (Happy Bengali New Year)
