Kochi Kontho Tarar Mela 2026

The organization plans a seven-day national talent festival to mark its fiftieth anniversary, at Bangladesh Shishu Academy in Dhaka. It is planned in two phases: a district-level talent hunt from 1 to 10 December 2026, and the main festival from 15 to 21 December 2026.

The festival will reach across Bangladesh through the organization’s district committees — 64 districts, two schools from each, and 128 schools in all.

It will close the organization’s fiftieth year by bringing children from every corner of the country together on one national stage.
