The Cox’s Bazar Cultural Center, located in the Sadar Upazila of Cox’s Bazar district, is a hub for preserving and nurturing the region’s diverse cultural heritage.
The Ministry of Cultural Affairs established the center in 1985 to safeguard, develop, and promote the cultural traditions of the area’s indigenous communities.
The center serves as a platform to celebrate and showcase local music, dance, and other forms of cultural expression. It fosters a deep sense of cultural awareness among the community and plays a vital role in maintaining the continuity of these traditions.
The center seeks to inspire the younger generation to connect with and take pride in their heritage through its activities.
Local artists, cultural enthusiasts, and members of indigenous groups find a space here to express their creativity and introduce their traditions to a global audience.
Moreover, the cultural center’s initiatives have positively impacted the local economy and tourism sector, making it a significant cultural landmark in Cox’s Bazar.
