<blockquote>
People from several villages of Howrah and even from other districts of West Bengal come here. People not only come to visit the Mela. In addition, they participate in many cultural programmes and competitions like 'Pithe Making' (Preparation of different sorts of Bengali Cakes), Seat-and Draw, Senior Citizens' Walking Competition, etc. An "Art-Camp" may attract creative minded people where artists from different states will participate. Some rare items of rural Bengal as "[[Dhenki]]" (Old-style Domestic Rice Mill), paddy of different varieties directly from the farmers' house are to be exhibited in the Exhibition ground. You can taste some delicious Bengali dishes like Pati-Sapta, Payesh (the latest addition is 'Vegetable Payesh'), Jilipipi (not Jilipi), etc. during the festival. Bengal's time-honoured culture and heritage will be presented to you in forms of Baul song, [[Chhou]]-dance, [[Jatra (Bengal)|Jatra]], [[Tarja (folk poetry contest)|Tarja]], Kobi-gaan, etc. These artists come from different parts of the state to perform their talent and expertise in front of thousands of appreciative gatherings. Moreover, you can refurbish your collection of folk arts from the 'exhibition-cum-sale' stalls of handicrafts made by rural artisans.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://tapankar.com/nabanna.htm |title=Nabanna Mela |website=Tapan Kar |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050430202922/http://tapankar.com/nabanna.htm |archive-date=30 April 2005}}</ref>
