Leicester Mela Festival Returns to Abbey Park: A Two-Day Celebration of Indian Arts, Culture, Music, Food & Fashion!

The highly anticipated Leicester Mela Festival returns to Abbey Park this August, offering a vibrant two-day celebration of South Asian arts, culture, and community.

Join thousands of attendees for this distinguished celebration of South Asia’s rich and colourful heritage, as Abbey Park is once again transformed into a vibrant hub of creativity, culture and community.

From internationally acclaimed performers to homegrown talent, the Main Stage will present a rich and diverse showcase of music, dance, and entertainment to captivate audiences of all ages.

Explore the bustling Mela Bazaar, where you'll find an eclectic mix of stalls offering everything from handcrafted jewellery and vibrant clothing to mouth-watering street food and sweet treats – a true shopping paradise!

And for families, there's something for everyone – from Billy Bates & Sons’ thrilling funfair rides, to a Kid’s Village packed with activities, arts and crafts.

Come for the culture, stay for the celebration. See you at the Mela!
