Our local Bangladeshi-American association, Prio Bangla, held its multicultural festival this year along the Pike, the first full celebration in three years. Columbia Pike Documentary Project photographers have been recording this colorful community event since its inception in 2011.
Arlington County Board members Katie Cristol, Takis Karantonis, and Virginia Assembly Delegate Alfonso Lopez were honored guests. Performers from numerous ethnic groups along with notable Bangladeshi stage and music luminaries were featured.
Thanks to Pryalal Karmakar and the terrific crew of Prio Bangla for their help.
