About Glasgow Mela
Scotland’s biggest FREE multicultural festival returns to Kelvingrove Park on Sunday 22nd June for another exotic extravaganza!
The Glasgow Mela, Scotland’s largest South Asian festival, celebrates the vibrant diversity of the city with music, dance, poetry and interactive activities, all showcasing South Asian culture.
This free festival offers global cuisine, artisan crafts, and family-friendly experiences, creating an inclusive space for cultural exchange.
Across two stages – Navras and Hamara – expect a bold and eclectic line-up spanning Bhangra, Bharatanatyam, hip-hop, alt-rock, qawwali, folk, jazz, soul, Indian classical and electronic crossover.
As part of Glasgow 850, the Mela in 2025 will highlight the contributions of South Asian culture and heritage to the city’s history.
New commissions, an Artist in Residence programme, on-stage collaboration and participatory workshops will amplify voices, cultivate conversation, and celebrate the city’s rich multicultural legacy.
