List of festivals in Bangladesh

Almost everyone in Bangladesh has come across the saying “Bangalir baro mashe tero parbon (Bengali: বাঙালির বারো মাসে তেরো পার্বণ)”, which roughly translates to "Bengalis have thirteen festivals in twelve months (a year)".

Bangladesh is a country of colourful celebrations.

The people celebrate their faith, life, liberty, nature, elation, and achievements round the year through a wide variety of fairs and festivals, organized with enthusiasm and intricate details.

Some Bengali fairs and festivals have a recorded history of over 2000 years.

Although a few festivals are primarily meant for particular sections of the population, all the festivals have now attained universal reach throughout the country.
