Mela 2006
Thousands of people, mouth-watering cuisine, colour, dance and excellent music was the scene at Southampton Mela 2006!
20,000 people came along on the day to celebrate Art Asia's 25th birthday with us whilst enjoying a huge range of music, dance and fun activities and also taking part in a range of workshops.
"With activities for all communities and all generations it's a truly family-friendly event, and one for all of Southampton to enjoy." Mark Attrill, Southampton
