This year’s Middlesbrough Mela was postponed after recent heavy rain left Albert Park waterlogged.The decision to delay this year’s event was taken by Middlesbrough Council, working alongside the Mela organising committee, following an inspection of the park’s grounds on Monday (August 7).It is hoped the popular event will now take place over the weekend of Saturday, September 9 and Sunday, September 10.
Middlesbrough Mela is one of the biggest and most spectacular multicultural festivals in the North-East and offers a fabulous mix of music, food, fashion and fun over two days!
Set in the beautiful surroundings of Albert Park in the heart of Middlesbrough you can expect world-class music, local talent, the market bazaar and a range of exciting family activities for all the family.
Middlesbrough Mela is the largest and longest-established event of its kind and attracts audiences of 50,000 over two days, reflecting the aspirations and needs of the communities within Middlesbrough, the Tees Valley and beyond.
The Mela brings communities together to celebrate and promote the diverse cultures within the region by playing host to a high-quality programme of world-class music covering a rich mix of hip hop, Bhangra and traditional Asian sounds, Market Bazaar, street theatre, family fun zone and fun fair.
