Edinburgh Mela Festival 2008
A carnival atmosphere with a vibrant and exciting mix of theatre, dance
and music, the Edinburgh Mela Festival is a lively event for all the family.
Monday 25th to Sunday 31st August, beside Ocean Terminal, Leith
The 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.
