Newcastle Mela is an incredible two-day event that takes place every year during the August Bank Holiday weekend in Exhibition Park, Newcastle upon Tyne. It’s free, family-friendly and everyone is welcome.
With up to 40,000 visitors from across the region, Newcastle Mela has been taking place for over 25 years and is one of the most vibrant and popular multicultural events in the North East.
The event is based around Pakistani, Bengali, Indian and other South Asian cultures and this is your chance to experience the music, food and entertainment associated with these cultures.
We are very proud of the fact that our event is suitable for everybody, no matter what your age or background, there really is something for everyone. Our visitors come from far and wide and once you visit and experience the incredible atmosphere, you will definitely want to come again!
