Festival season in Tower Hamlets moved up a gear on Sunday July 1, when the council successfully hosted another renowned Boishakhi Mela, attracting tens of thousands of revellers from the borough and beyond.
A parade from Brick Lane to the festival site in Weavers Fields, Bethnal Green officially launched the biggest celebration of the Bengali New Year in Europe.
The colourful procession with music and fabulous floats included a magnificent tiger and elephant as well as a stunning peacock which is new for 2018 and whose striking plumage stuck out in pride of place at the front of the parade.
The hot weather was perfect for the day with glorious sunshine adding to the carnival atmosphere.
On the main stage, some of the biggest names in Bangla music and dance performed as people of all ages and backgrounds rocked to the music.
Headline acts included internationally renowned fusion band Chirkutt alongside folk singer Ashik who came over from Bangladesh to join the stellar line up.
Performances by the internationally renowned Mumzy, Naz & Bolly Flex plus a large number of local acts kept the crowds entertained throughout the day.
Emon vai always boss!!

Waste of money. Tower hamlets council prove yet again how out of touch they are. Youths of tower hamlets do not relate to any of this. They are British bengali Muslim and need integration not further segregation and lost within this borough, which has already lost a generation.
I see plenty of people showed up to celebrate their culture. And Most attendees are Bangladeshi born Londoners who actually pay taxes.
@Babor Ali Why should I be embarrassed of our own culture? i am not a britain born confused deshi who is stuck between Arab, Bengali and English culture. I am a Bangladeshi born Londoner. I can have fun in Bengali Mela as well as chug beer in German festival.
