Bangladeshi culture is celebrated at Eisenhower Park

At Eisenhower Park, alongside a free summer concert series at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre, there has also been several evenings dedicated to celebrating the many diverse cultures and ethnicities that make up Nassau County.

It was Bangladeshi American Night on Aug. 11, and the theatre’s fields were packed with residents from across the county. The evening was organized by the Bangladeshi Heritage of NY, Inc., in collaboration with the Nassau County Executive Office and the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums.

The night included a fashion show, musical performances, and traditional cuisine. Sabrina Hossain, Sabrina Rahman and Nazrul Kabir were honored with citations from Nassau County.

The headlining musical performance featured Bindu Kona.

“The main attraction for this year’s event (was) the new generation sensation, the heartthrob musician Bindu Kona,” the Bangladeshi Heritage Inc. wrote on Facebook. “She won the hearts of the audience with her mesmerizing voice and performance.”

A dance performance was also put on by the Nritanjali School of Dance, which is located in Hicksville.

In the weeks ahead, there will be many more evenings dedicated to celebrating different cultures, including Ukranian American Night on Aug. 24, Dominican American Night on Aug. 27, Turkish American Night on Aug. 31 and Latino American Night on Sept. 2.
