Our Flagship Global Events

HBG organizes several landmark events that have become pillars of global Bengali cultural outreach:

1. Thames Durga Parade (London, UK): Our pioneering event, the Thames Durga Parade, is a spectacular celebration that brings the grandeur and spirit of Bengal’s greatest festival, Durga Pujo, to the heart of London. This unique parade on the River Thames offers a mesmerizing visual and cultural experience, symbolizing the global reach of Bengali tradition.
2. IFA Shield (International Editions): We revive and promote the legendary IFA Shield football tournament in international territories, fostering a spirit of sportsmanship and connecting the diaspora through the love of the game. Our current international editions include events in the UK, Australia, Scotland, Canada, and the USA.
3. Annual Global Meet (Kolkata, India): The cornerstone of our annual calendar is the Annual Global Meet held every December in Kolkata. This major gathering serves as a critical forum for thought leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, and community representatives from across our 60+ countries to connect, collaborate, and strategize on future initiatives for global Bengali heritage promotion.

Join us as we continue to build a lasting legacy for Bengal, connecting hearts and minds across continents.
