We got to experience a village fair after ages!
Things change so fast, the countryside doesn't feel like it anymore, it's becoming a megacity day by day. We sometimes miss the good old days, the winter fair, and the colorful fest during the evening. But it doesn't happen very often.
Fortunately, this year, we got to experience a village fair like we used to have 20 years ago. The same types of shops, food stalls, and everything else existed. It felt like we went back in time.
Let me share it with you.
This was the Venue.
It was originally an Islamic conference and invitation program. People gathered to meet the scholars and listen to their Dawah (Islamic Conversation).
The fair was outside the venue, on the side of the streets.
Toy Shops
People from all over the city came to join. The place was buzzing. The event usually takes place at night. Before then, from the afternoon to the evening, people come to explore different stores and food carts and have a happy hour there.
Fried food carts and Sugar candy on the right
It was near my hometown area called Rangpur, in the middle of the city. But because of the old age view and the stalls, it felt like a true village fair.
For example, the food carts that were offering different options seem like didn't change at all. They have the same menu for over 20 years. There were some additions but I still get to see some food that we usually don't get to enjoy often.
Potato Chips and Chotpoti
The dessert shop, the beetle and nut shops, the spicy ChotPoti shops; everything is very familiar to us but we don't get to enjoy them often. Because of the fast food and new street food shops; our traditional food seems unavailable.
Jilapi and betel nut shop
We tried a few fried items, then some pickles, and Jalebi too. The price was very cheap. The food brings back so many memories.
Pickles
It took us more than an hour to explore the whole fair. We didn't rush because we knew that this would be gone too soon and we would not get to experience such a fair in many upcoming years.
So, we took our time, had some food, explored the place, and bought some toys and other small things.
We went back home with a happy heart.
Hmm. I can imagine the scenario of there through your shared picture and I think there are a lot of food stalls. I can see such kind of scenario in village fair.

So fancy, and lots of foods!
Yes, a lot of food; I wouldn't say fancy but very traditional one 😊
Thank you.

A village fair is always fun to witness no, you can see a lot even discover some new things. The foods displayed in there looks really good 🤩🤩
Totally agree on this one, there are so many things to explore; it's like an endless tour. 😁
I love the old-world style markets, farmers' markets, and fairs. We have one near us that that is actually called a village market. I've discovered some unusual antiques from the vendor stalls. I can't wait to hurry home and research the items. But the food is what draws people to the fair. The candied pecans and walnuts are my favorites. As long as the kids can secure a funnel cake and ice cream, they'll stroll with me for hours while I shop.
Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a good rest of your week, and Happy New Year.

That sounds great. It must be a great experience to shop in that marketplace.
I can totally relate to the kids part 😁😁 Mine one is same too.
I too love candied food 😋
Thanks for sharing your experience. Have a great day.
You too and a Happy New Year of health, prosperity, and good spirits. Take care.
