Belfast Mela

About

A week long celebration of culture, colour and creativity as it comes together across a magical series of events finishing with the fabulous festival finale at Botanic Gardens.

Belfast Mela is the city’s annual celebration of global cultures when tens of thousands of visitors come together to celebrate our people and diversity.

The centre piece of the festival is Mela Day, which transforms Botanic Gardens into a magical global garden filled with the sights, sounds and aromas of nations right around the world. Music, dance, arts and culture come together to create a heady, good humoured atmosphere which invites the world into the heart of our city.

The 2024 programme is currently being finalised. Please check back or keep updated at belfastmela.org.uk
