Toronto/IBNS: Puja Bazaar, an event jointly organized by Probaashe Bangali Adda, Canada, and Twinkle Starz Events, recently concluded with success, drawing over 800 attendees.

As the Bengali community has grown over the past few years, Durga Puja has become an even more cherished and vibrant celebration, exemplified by the recent success of Puja Bazaar

The event owes its triumph to the steadfast support of vendors, sponsors, attendees, and dignitaries alike, fostering a vibrant atmosphere that championed local small-scale businesses.

MP Rechie Valdez, Canada's Minister of Small Scale Businesses presence was a significant highlight, as she had some valuable interactions with the community members.

The event received guests from various Puja organizations in and around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), including Amar Pujo Toronto, Agomoni, Bongo Poribar, Bangiya Parishad Toronto, Durham Durgotsab, Royal City Durga Puja, Toronto Durgabari, Toronto Hindu Dharmashram, and UTSAV Bengali Association of London Ontario.

The "Kids' Sit and Draw" event delighted all with the enthusiasm displayed by young participants, and the fashion show, "Walk for a Cause," in collaboration with Breast Cancer Canada, received accolades for its contribution to Breast Cancer Awareness.
