A large number of events are observed throughout the country. These are the true reflectors of the old traditions of the majority of the population of Bangladesh. These events are colorful and interesting enough to entertain you as well as to give you too many opportunities to learn about the destination's culture you are visiting. If you take Bangladesh flights must catch anyone of them. Although the event celebrated in the country are too many. Let us take a brief look at some of these.

Eid Milad-un-Nabi: Majority of the population of Bangladesh is Muslim, and the day of birth of Holy Prophet (P.B.UH) named as Eid-Milad-un-Nabi is perhaps the most celebrated religious event in the country. During this event the whole country transforms itself into a beautifully decorated site. It is celebrated on the 12th of 3rd month of Islamic calendar. If you take flights to Bangladesh during this period you will be observing thousands of people in the streets attending this procession. Not only in Bangladesh but throughout the Muslim World this day is celebrated with great honor.

Pahela Baishakh: The dates of 14 or 15 April of Georgian calendar are considered as the Bangladeshi year. The date has been also serving as the commencement day of financial year in Bangladesh. If you take flights to Bangladesh and join this event you will be observing locals wearing festive clothes that show the joy of people. The day is begun with a heavy and hearty breakfast and there is national holiday on this first day of New Year. It is in fact a cultural day of the locals.

Independence Day: Bangladesh got its independent status on 26th March, 1971; this date is celebrated as the national day of the country. If you catch cheap Bangladesh flights on this date you will be much pleased to observe the independence ceremony commencing with firing guns and thriving fire crackers.

Christmas: The religious day of Christians is also celebrated throughout the country especially in Dhaka. If you take cheap flights to Bangladesh you may go for prayers and Christians gathering at any of the many places in Dhaka including; St. Mary's Cathedral, the Portuguese Church, the Church of Bangladesh, and Bangladesh Baptist Sangha.
