Middlesborough Mela (Rescheduled), Middlesborough
Sep 7, 2024 - Sep 8, 2024
We’re thrilled that the Middlesbrough Mela, the region’s largest celebration of multiculturalism, has been rescheduled for 7th and 8th September!
After recent unrest in our town, we made the difficult decision to postpone the event. However, the overwhelming support from our community has inspired us to bring it back even stronger. Following a crucial meeting with local leaders, we’re excited to return to Albert Park in less than three weeks, symbolizing our town’s resilience and unity.
Mela leaders expressed their gratitude: “We’re deeply encouraged by the solidarity of those who recognized the importance of Mela. With the support of our MP, Mayor, and Police, we’re confident that Middlesbrough Mela will continue to be a beacon of hope and unity for our town and the wider region.”
For over three decades, Middlesbrough Mela has been a flagship event promoting community cohesion, integration, and inclusivity. This year, despite the challenges, the Mela will once again light up Albert Park with vibrant performances and a spirit of togetherness that defines our town.
Mayor Chris Cooke, MP Andy McDonald, and Police Crime Commissioner Matt Storey have all praised the Mela as a celebration of diversity and unity, highlighting its importance in bringing our community together.
