Every country have is own festivals an traditions. So, in today's article I am gonna share here some of our major festivals, here in Bangladesh.

Festivals are an important part of the cultural landscape. It incorporates the area's history, customs, tales, and beliefs, as well as elements of good and evil. If you know a lot about a country's or society's festivals, you can bet that the people in that country or society also know a lot. Festivals might be centered on the community, the town, or the land. In Bangladesh, there are many distinct sorts of celebrations. The majority of festivals, on the other hand, focus around a specific season or month. These festivals not only bring joy to the people's hearts, but they also provide a comprehensive picture of the country's history and culture.

Here is someone;

Bengali New Year: Bengali new year is the biggest public festival in Bangladesh. It is a celebration of forgetting the sorrows, pains, fatigue and ugliness of the old days and accepting the new ones. This festival is celebrated all over Bangladesh. This festival is celebrated by people of all classes, professions and ages in Bangladesh irrespective of religion, caste and tribe. On this occasion fairs and processions were organized. On this day, the merchants open a new account book called Halkhata and invite customers to pay for the arrears. On the first day of Boishakh, fun meals are arranged in almost every house. The Bengali new year is celebrated with great pomp in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. The Mars procession was taken out from the Faculty of Fine Arts of Dhaka University. At the sunrise of the new year, a cultural program is organized at the base of Ramna.

Victory Day: December 16 is the Victory Day of Bangladesh. On this day in 1971, the freedom fighters emerged victorious after a long and bloody nine-month war against the Pakistani occupiers since the declaration of independence. The day is very happy and glorious for Bangladesh. So when December comes, the whole country turns red-green. On 16th December, wreaths were laid at all the memorials including the National Memorial to pay homage to the best children of the nation. On the occasion of Victory Day, various cultural festivals, sports programs and book fairs are organized in almost all regions of Bangladesh.

Book Fair: Book Fair has become another major cultural festival of Bangladesh. Book fairs are organized in different places of Bangladesh at different times. But the most notable book fair is the Amar Ekushey Book Fair held at the Bangla Academy premises in Dhaka throughout the month of February. This book fair became a gathering of readers and writers. Many authors publish their new books at the book fair, just like before Published books are also available at the fair. The book fair is no longer just a book fair, it turns out.

Nabanna: Nabanna is the festival of new paddy. During the winter, new paddy grows in the house. At this time, there was a commotion in the houses of rural Bengal about making cakes. In the presence of relatives and neighbors, the festive mood spreads from house to house.

Eid: Eid is the most important festival for all of the muslim peoples.Every year two time we celebrate Eid.

Ekushey February: Ekushey February is Bangladesh's Martyrs' Day and International Mother Language Day. Involved with this is the history of the long cultural struggle of the Bengalis. On this day in 1952, the processionists violated Section 144 by demanding to make Bengali the state language. Rafiq, Salam, Barkat, Jabbar and many others were martyred when the police opened fire on them. As a result of this self-sacrifice and long struggle, Bengali was recognized as the state language in 1954. The day has been celebrated since next year to remember and pay homage to the memory of the martyrs.
