VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE AT 10TH BELFAST MELA
There will be more than a taste of the exotic in store this summer as
Northern Ireland’s biggest celebration of cultural diversity prepares to
celebrate its tenth anniversary in colourfully eclectic style.
Belfast Mela, launched in 2007 by the pioneering ArtsEkta ethnic arts
organisation, will bring a wonderful world of entertainment to the Belfast
Botanic Gardens over August Bank Holiday weekend, as it celebrates ten
fabulous years with the addition of an extra night of music, dance and
theatre in a special festival ‘Big Top’ on the evening of Saturday 27th
August.
Over 25,000 visitors are expected to flock to Botanic Gardens on Sunday 28
August for the main Mela Festival event; Northern Ireland’s favourite
carnival of international cultures, featuring music, dance, arts and
performance from around the world.
This year global cuisine will be wafting luscious aromas around the park as
Belfast Mela pays tribute to Northern Ireland Year of Food & Drink 2016.
International chefs will combine their talents and culinary heritage with
great local produce to provide fabulous dishes to sample and enjoy. From ‘A
Night In Rajasthan’ tandoori barbeque experience and the World Food Market
to Live Cookery Theatre and the specially-curated Artisan Market showcasing
what’s fresh and new from dynamic local food producers …. cooking doesn’t
get much better than this!
