Countdown to Pujo has begun

The dhaak will sound. The lights will glow. The adda will begin. And for one unforgettable weekend, Pujo will feel like home again.

The Bengali Society of Florida warmly invites you to BSF’s 45th Durgotsav—three joyful days of devotion, music, culture, food and community.

Since 1982, Durga Pujo has been at the heart of BSF’s annual celebrations. In 2026, we come together once again to welcome Maa Durga, reconnect with old friends, make new memories and celebrate the traditions that bring generations together.

Whether you have celebrated with BSF for decades or are joining us for the first time, you are part of the celebration.

Everyone is welcome.

Three Days. One Community. Countless Memories.
