Welcome to the
Edinburgh Mela Festival 2009
This year’s Mela Festival takes place
from the 7th - 9th August at Pilrig Park.
Welcome to the 15th Edinburgh Mela Festival. In this year of Homecoming we are celebrating Scotland's place in the world as a vibrant, culturally diverse nation. A land that has, over many years, welcomed generations of immigrant communities who have chosen to make Scotland their home. We're thinking of this as our year of Home-be-coming. We've decided to place a particular focus on artists who draw on a range of heritages to make innovative and contemporary work that reaches across artistic and cultural boundaries.
Come
to our party, and share in the celebration -
we think we
have all the right ingredients!
