Prio Bangla- Bangladeshi street festival

The first ever Prio Bangla Street Fair, a Bangladeshi festival celebrating our local Bangladeshi community and culture, was held on September 15, 2012, in the 2900 block of S. 9th Street, in Arlington VA, just off Columbia Pike. It was very well attended, with a joyous swirl of colors, spice aromas, music, and dance. This suite of over 100 photographs, largely presented in the order they were taken, is the single largest post to date on the CPDP blog.
