One of the renowned fairs of Rajshahi is held in a village of Durgapur upazila named Khulshi. The fair is held on the bank of the river for the first three days of the Bengali month of Ashwin. Nobody knows about its origins.

According to the local people the age of the fair is around 200 years. Those from this area who are living away from the village come back to their village home during the fair instead of during Eid or the Puja festival.

The main attraction of the fair is a circus. A special kind of sweet made of flour and sugar juice named Jilapi is very famous and is sold in huge quantities. Other attractions and exhibits are toys, household items, puffed rice, imitation jewellery, pottery and cosmetics.
