Celebrating the diverse cultures within Scotland, the Glasgow Mela is packed full of music, dance, arts, fun and entertainment.
With more than 20,000 visitors each year, the Glasgow Mela is definitely Glasgow’s biggest multi-cultural festival.
This is the Mela’s 21st year running. To celebrate it’s 21st birthday, this year it will take place over 2 days in June.
The Mela takes place in the beautiful setting of the city’s Kelvingrove Park – and admission is completely FREE!
The Glasgow Mela prides itself in being a truly multi-cultural festival which reflects the diversity that exists in Glasgow and indeed in Scotland. As well as the popular bhangra and bollywood acts, the Glasgow Mela presents a vibrant mix of international music from Russian Folk, to reggae and Latin American beats.
Headline attractions announced for this year’s event include DCS, Manak-E, Mumzy Stranger, Cchau Dancers, Desi Bravehearts, Dance Dhamaka, Gtown Desi and bass2bass.
The O2 Glasgow Mela is the best way to enjoy a fabulous summer day in the city with live music, dance, entertainment and arts. Plus it is the only chance to sample the ‘specialty’ of the event – enjoying a curry in the park!
The full schedule is available on the Glasgow Mela website, so please check there for more details.
With vibrant music, colourful dance, interactive arts as well as plenty of family fun and youth entertainment all set in the leafy backdrop of Kelvingrove Park in the city’s West End, Mela is truly a festival like no other.
