Winter Fest: A vibrant winter bazaar full of life
The last few days at BRAC University were filled with joy, colors, and winter cheer as the 2024 Winter Fest, organized by the BRAC University Entrepreneurship Development Forum (BUEDF), brought together students, entrepreneurs, faculty, and staff on the campus ground floor. The area buzzed with activity, packed with enthusiastic visitors exploring various unique stalls and vibrant attractions.
The event offered something for everyone, from internationally renowned brands like ASUS and Chatime to handmade local creations crafted by small businesses. Stalls featured various items, including handmade skincare, jewelry, paintings, clothing, perfumes, food items like pickles, baked goods, and even traditional “Pitha.” Vendor Sitima Sarker proudly shared her joy seeing students embrace her traditional handmade jewelry inspired by Bangladeshi heritage. ASUS representative Al Amin Rahid was equally thrilled to witness tech-savvy students exploring the latest laptop and gaming innovations.



The vendors were undeniably the heart of the fest, each showcasing unique talents and experiences. Sadab Khondoker(Senior, BBS) achieved remarkable success by becoming the highest seller on the first day with his delicious homemade cookies. While some vendors thrived, others expressed concerns over high stall fees, making it challenging to offer student-friendly prices. Despite this, Jarin Salsabil Samiha(Sophomore, BBS), celebrated her success, noting the joy of seeing repeat customers and highlighting the timeless Bengali winter fashion of shawls paired with sarees.

The final day of Winter Fest was a spectacular conclusion. To kick-start the day, BUEDF presented a sensational lineup featuring in-house bands FURY Horizon, Xenon, and Nivrit. The grand finale enthralled the crowd with exhilarating performances by Aftermath Bangladesh and Shironamhin, marking one of the most extraordinary musical lineups ever witnessed at BRAC University.
BUEDF’sWinterFest wasn’t just a celebration—it was a testament to the creativity, diversity, and unity of the BRACU community, leaving unforgettable memories in its wake.
