The Boishakhi Mela (Bengali New Year festival) has always been an amazing celebration bringing the community together to witness the very best in Bengali culture, art and music. Following incredible responses from wider audience over the past few years, Apasen had its own stall at Mela this year and featured various projects and services in Weavers Fields. The stall has been visited by community leaders, journalists and politicians along with a cross section of people.
Amongst a wide array of dignitaries, the Canary Wharf Group’s Managing Director (Strategy) Mr Howard Dawber visited Apasen stall and appreciates the work it has been doing over the decades. The largest Boishakhi Mela or traditional Bengali fair is being organised by London Borough of Tower Hamlets. According to the council, this year’s festival attracted around 40,000 revellers across the day from the borough and beyond.
