৩৬ জুলাই — United in Resilience, Ignited for the Future

A Bangladeshi diaspora celebration of heritage, memory & hope, jointly organized by the Center for Society and Culture, Bangladeshi American Network for Democracy (BAND), July House, and The Bengal Council

On August 5, 2024, Bangladesh awoke transformed. ৩৬ জুলাই (July 36) — the calendar that refused to end until justice prevailed — became a symbol of a generation’s courage and a nation’s resilience.

This August, the Bangladeshi diaspora and allies gather to honor that moment, celebrate our heritage, and remember who we are. Join us for signature artist Babna Karim (Warfaze, Coke Studio), youth and professional performers, and cultural showcases spanning music, dance, spoken word, theatre, and an exclusive short film premiere — plus food vendors, family fun, and community connection.

Free admission. RSVP required — seats are limited. All are welcome. 🇧🇩

৩৬ জুলাই is organized entirely on our own initiative — by the community, for the community — to keep this celebration free and open to all. We’re currently running behind budget, and every bit of support helps cover venue, production, and hospitality costs. If this event means something to you, we’d be grateful for your contribution — any amount, anonymously if you wish. 🙏
