In the wet and miserable summer of 2006, the clouds disappeared for one special day to let the glorious sunshine through on Wales. This paved the way for one of the most unique events in the history of Cardiff, the first Cardiff Mela. This community and social cohesion event is open to everyone, all ages and all colours and most imporatntly it is a FREE ENTRY event! The 2025 Mela will mark 19 years since the first Cardiff Mela event and will take place on Sunday 15th June 2025. Previous events have attracted 30,000 visitors in a day and with planning underway, 2025 is set to be bigger and better!
The Mela showcases a wide diversity of cultures, music, dance, arts, fashion and food to name a few. Although the Mela’s roots are Asian cultures, this is a festival for all and aims to educate, share and celebrate all cultures.
