A VIBRANT celebration of culture and community spirit is set to return to Warrington next month.
Warrington Mela is a popular annual event that brings residents together for a family-friendly day of live performances, international cuisine, and activities for all ages.
It will return to the town centre once again on Sunday, September 6 at Queens Gardens.
The multicultural event shines a spotlight on diversity and inclusion through music, dance, art, and food, making it one of the town’s most anticipated cultural celebrations.
"Warrington Mela continues to demonstrate how cultural events can bring people together, foster community resilience and celebrate the rich diversity of the borough, thanks to the support of external funding, sponsors and partners," said Jean Flaherty, Warrington Borough Council’s deputy leader and cabinet member for communities, culture and leisure.
"Everyone is welcome to attend.
"The programme has been designed to encourage conversation, shared experiences and greater understanding between communities through music, food, arts, performances and family-friendly activities.
"Warrington Mela is one of the highlights of our cultural calendar and an event we are really proud of.
"It’s not only a huge celebration of culture, it also strengthens our community, fosters togetherness and showcases the very best of who we are."
The festival is supported by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and additional backing from sponsors and community partners, including Culture Warrington, Warrington BID, the Hoover Foundation, and the Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner’s Safer Communities Fund.
The international market will offer flavours from around the globe, with cuisines including Indian, Korean, Turkish, Greek, and Chinese.
This year’s programme is designed to spark dialogue, build mutual respect, and deepen understanding between communities.
