Our Pitha Utshob received special recognition when Shomoy TV featured the event in their coverage, highlighting how the Bangladeshi community in Oulu came together to celebrate winter traditions with warmth, flavour, and cultural pride.
The segment captures the essence of the festival—families preparing traditional pithas, children experiencing cultural heritage, and community members sharing stories, music, and food. It reflects the same spirit described in our full event article: a celebration of identity, togetherness, and the joy of keeping traditions alive far from home.
This recognition is a meaningful moment for our community. It shows how cultural events like Pitha Utshob strengthen belonging, create bridges across cultures, and showcase the richness of Bangladeshi heritage within the multicultural landscape of Oulu.
We extend our gratitude to Shomoy TV for covering the event, and to every volunteer, participant, and guest who made this celebration memorable.
❤️❤️❤️🇧🇩🇫🇮
Your support means a lot to us — kiitos! 🙏
