The event will take place at the Edison High School auditorium in Edison, New Jersey, starting at 5 p.m. Organizers expect hundreds of families from the tri-state area to attend.

The program includes traditional Bengali music performances, folk dances, and a fashion show featuring ethnic attire. Children's activities and a community dinner will follow the cultural showcase.

Tickets are available online through the BCS website and at the door. Early bird pricing applies until March 15. Proceeds support BCS community programs and cultural workshops throughout the year.

BCS Baisakhi has been an annual tradition for over a decade, drawing families from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. This year's theme, 'Mrittika' or soil, highlights the connection to Bengali roots and heritage.
