One of our area’s biggest Bangladeshi celebrations will soon be here! The 10th annual Potho Mela street fair will fill our neighborhood streets with Bangladeshi food, dancing, music, shopping and much more.

The Church-McDonald Bangladeshi Business Association is sponsoring the event, which will be held on McDonald Avenue, from Church Avenue to Avenue C. The festivities will run from about 11am-8pm and will include everything from stalls selling food, clothes, jewelry, and toys to live music from local and visiting singers from Bangladesh.

Fair goers can also enter a raffle that will include such prizes as a car, TV, iPad, air tickets, and more.

All are welcome to attend the fair.

If you get any photos of the festivities, let us know! Email us at editor@kensingtonbk.com, and we’ll post them to the blog.
