Thousands of people will enjoy a spectacular day of Indian inspired arts, music, culture, food, fashion and entertainment.
Abbey Park will feature a main entertainment stage, showcasing some of the best international artists as well as local talent, from dancers, musicians and singers.
Headliners this year include Apache Indian, Sardara Gill (Apna Sangeet), Metz N Trix DJ Lyan & many more to be confirmed.
You can also expect a variety of stalls selling clothes, jewellery, confectionary, food and more, leaving you spoilt for choice at the Mela Bazaar.
