The Belfast Mela is now one of the largest arts festivals in Northern Ireland, bringing together music, dance, art, theatre, wellbeing and food from around the world to celebrate the city's growing cultural diversity.
This spectacular multicultural festival, which attracted 60,000 plus people last year, will once again take place over nine days later this month. The festival opens on Saturday, 17th August with the spectacular Mela Carnival through the streets of Belfast city centre featuring more than 1,000 participants, followed by Mela Plus events throughout the week.
The traditional Mela Day then returns to Botanic Gardens on Sunday, 25th August, bringing a spectacular party in the park to close the festival once again.
Belfast's Lord Mayor, Councillor Micky Murray, launched this year's event, sponsored by Sensata Technologies, at Ulster University on Thursday morning alongside Dr Nisha Tandon, Founder of Belfast Mela and Director of ArtsEkta.
The full Mela 2024 programme is available online at belfastmela.or....
