A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.

Welcome!
Nearly two decades ago, the inception of Worcester County Bengali Association (WCBA) began with approximately 10-12 Bengali families residing in the Worcester County area.
Through regular weekend gatherings, these families contemplated forming a close-knit community. With mutual encouragement and support, they established an informal association centered around organizing cultural and religious programs within the group.
Initially centered around Saraswati Puja, the group's dedication and passion led to the launch of WCBA's first Durga Puja celebration in 2001. As more families joined, the association grew to include around 20-22 families collaboratively planning and executing events.
At the core of WCBA's mission is providing exceptional hospitality to all guests, establishing a unique identity for the organization. Moving forward, WCBA strives to continue orchestrating well-coordinated events for the community, while also remaining dedicated to charitable endeavors to the best of its abilities.

Upcoming Events
Worcester County Bengali Association (WCBA) will celebrate Durga Puja on October 5th and 6th, 2024 at All Saints Episcopal Church Worcester, MA. Please RSVP.
Durga Puja is a momentous festival where families come from all over the place to pray for the well-being of everyone. They also get a chance to meet old friends, make many new friends and enjoy the auspicious festival which is comprised of profoundly divine Puja, attractive cultural programs including our signature item “Bangla Natok” and, of course, our most favorite offering “delicious food”.
To enable this, WCBA strives hard to provide you with a heartfelt welcoming environment where you will be drawn in close to feel that it is your own Puja, and find the occasion a never to be forgotten experience absolutely filled with warmth and fellow feelings.
As always, we extend our sincere invitation for you to join us during this year’s Durga Puja in Worcester. We will eagerly wait to receive you with a warm welcome!
