London: Bengali Festival And Bangladesh In Trouble

Morris: The video covers some of the activity at Victoria Park in London. And I was there at the beginning, there were 10s of 1,000s more people arriving. I don't drive a car, but i could see there were horrific traffic jams and no parking spaces.

The following is from Wikipedia:
The Boishakhi Mela (Bengali: বৈশাখী মেলা Boishakhi Mêla) celebrated in London, England, takes place across the area of Banglatown in the borough of Tower Hamlets in east London .... The event is a celebration of the Bengali New Year, with musical and cultural events held. It is the largest open-air Asian festival in Europe and the largest Bengali festival outside of Bangladesh. After the Notting Hill Carnival, it is the second-largest street festival in the UK attracting over 80,000 visitors from around the UK. Although the Bengali new year falls on 14/15 April (1st Boishakh in the Bengali calendar), the festival is held in the second weekend of May on a Sunday to avoid the period of higher risk of rain during the month of April. Having started in 1997, the 10th anniversary of the mela was celebrated in 2007. Source
