Welcome to the Edinburgh Mela website
2009 is shaping up to be a busy year for us.
Not only are we well underway with our plans for another exciting Edinburgh Mela Festival this August, but we are currently developing a range of projects that take place throughout the year.
This year’s Mela Festival takes place from the 7th - 9th August.
Check back here in July for detailed programme information about this year’s festival or use the contact form if you would like information about being a stall-holder or volunteer at this year’s Mela.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to one of our events or activities at some point during 2009.
The Edinburgh Mela Festival is Scotland's leading celebration of cultural diversity through the arts, having been founded in 1995 by members of the city's minority ethnic communities.
We do this through the form of a Mela, a South Asian festival and a Sanskrit word meaning gathering. In Edinburgh each year we gather some of the finest talent from across Scotland and the UK as well as international artists and present them in a vibrant and exciting environment with interactive opportunities for children and families and a food and craft market.
