The Ananda Mela of Los Angeles, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity made of the Bangladeshi community living in Los Angeles, California., has hosted a cultural festival since 2017 (with a two-year hiatus in 2020-2021). The festival promotes understanding of the Bangladeshi diaspora and provides a platform for Bangladeshi Angelinos to connect with their culture. It features cultural performances, food, and opportunities to meet community members. Local and federal officials have supported the free event and have recognized prominent Bangladeshi artists. The organization believes cultural exchange bridges racial differences.
