    Downtown #VictoriaBC will be filled with music, colour and tradition on April 11 as the Victoria #BengaliCulturalSociety hosts its first outdoor celebration of #PohelaBoishakh - the #Bengali #NewYear. The #FreeEvent, set for #CentennialSquare at noon, marks a milestone for the local Bengali community, bringing one of its most recognized #cultural traditions into the public square. For the first time in Victoria, organizers will stage the #MongolShobhajatra -a “parade of well-being” recognized by #UNESCO. The procession will feature large, handcrafted masks and vibrant artistic structures, accompanied by drumming and music symbolizing #peace and #unity.

    The parade is expected to begin around 1 p.m. The celebration will also include live Bengali music and dance performances, a food fair showcasing #SouthAsian cuisine, and vendor stalls offering traditional clothing and handmade goods. Organizers say the event is meant to highlight the #diversity of #cultures on #VancouverIsland while offering residents a chance to engage with Bengali traditions.

    Tomorrow, I'm going back to the Indigenous music festival in evening. Saturday morning & afternoon, I'm attending free ArtisTree festival on Government House grounds. I may attend on Sunday too - it's a weekend festival:

    I also signed up for another fun creative community workshop at the #WellandCommunityOrchard legacy park & taking my friend, Cassidy, to it.
    #Printmaking in the orchard 😊 On Aug. 11th.
    We'll learn how to design, carve & use #linocut stamps & how to use natural materials from some of the wonderful fruit species around the orchard to make #collagraph prints. We will get to #design & #create our own #stamps based on inspiration from the orchard & then use it in combination with collagraph techniques to print a pretty tote bag to take home.
