With a mission to serve the community and promote Bengali heritage and closely related cultures, Krishti has been organizing a variety of social and cultural events for many years. With overwhelming attendance at these events – often exceeding 500 participants - the founding members of “Krishti” are inspired to take this cultural celebration to new heights with an exciting mega event to be called herein as “Utsab”. We are thrilled to announce that “Utsab” will take place on July 10th and 11th, 2026 at The Edmonton Convention Centre, previously known as Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton.
The event promises to be a spectacular two-day celebration, featuring performances by renowned artists from India and Bangladesh.
