Cultural Events

Bengali Association of Greater Nashville will present an enchanting Opening ceremony and will close the event with memorable entertainments.

RBC 2010 warmly invites you to explore the cultural richness of Bengal in a distinctive approach during three event packed days. Here is a glimpse of three days cultural events:

"INDIA NITE": Friday, July 16, 2010 
            Friday night will spotlight the rich cultural heritage of India. The cultural program incorporate artists who are well established to Indian audiences as well as Bengali audiences to promote a cohesive celebration of Indian culture.

"DUYE BANGLAR MILAN": Saturday, July 17, 2010 
            Bengal may be divided geographically, but culturally and socially they are more together than apart. On this day, the event lineup focuses on union of Bengali culture.

"SALUTE TO AMERICA": Sunday, July 18, 2010
            One common factor among all of us is our connection to America and the unique experiences of being Bengali-American. First and Second generation participants of RBC 2010 will bring forth the talent and creativity of their global culture with a modern/fusion approach.
