About the event

After 19 years, one of the most significant celebrations of Marathi Culture, Customs, and Community – the BMM Convention comes to the vibrant city of Seattle, a tech hub surrounded by stunning nature!

The global Maharashtrian community has maintained its cultural identity while integrating into a foreign culture. The Marathi community in Seattle continues to grow and thrive, actively contributing to the city’s dynamic culture and innovation. With the anticipation of BMM 2026, we look forward to further strengthening our cultural bonds and showcasing our rich heritage.

The convention aims to bring Marathi-speaking individuals and their families together to connect, celebrate, and enjoy our heritage of art, music, dance, and cuisine.

Convener’s Statement

I am proud to announce that BMM of NA has selected Seattle Maharashtra Mandal as 2026 BMM convention winner. SMM will be hosting BMM convention after 19 years at Seattle Convention Center from August 7 to 9, 2026. SMM was announced official 2026 BMM Convention Host Mandal at BMM's recent biannual convention in San Jose, CA.

Right after the big announcement, SMM's current EC and BCC appointed Convener first and then rest of the core committee. Right after hiring core committee, SMM started hiring Chair and Cochair for the steering committee. Our Steering committee has 55-60 Chairs and Cochairs for 20 committees.

We have already started seeing lots of excitement in many Marathi speaking families of Greater Seattle area and hence over 200 individuals have signed up for steering committees to volunteers' position. BMM is the largest Marathi organization outside of Maharashtra and to host their convention in our home town is indeed a great opportunity. We all will work together and make this event fully successful and will have memorable experience for the entire Maharashtrian Community of Greater Seattle.

Jai Maharashtra! Jai Bharat! God Bless America!
