Chand Raat Mela

13 May 2026

On 15 March, BD Community Hub Sydney hosted the 6th Annual Chand Raat Mela in Minto. The organisation has made a remarkable impact since its establishment in 2020. Through cultural programs, community services and fundraising efforts, they've created meaningful opportunities for connection and support within the Bangladeshi-Australian community. This year's mela, now a proud Campbelltown tradition, was the largest Ramadan event in south-west Sydney. With over 100 stalls, vibrant performances, and a rich mix of food, fashion and entertainment, it offered families a place to prepare for Eid while celebrating their cultural identity. Events like this are vital. They create spaces where communities can come together, celebrate shared traditions, and feel a strong sense of belonging. They also open doors for others to engage, learn and appreciate the diversity that strengthens our region. My thanks to President Abdul Khan Ratan and everyone involved for delivering such a dynamic and inclusive event.
