Aberdeen Mela - One World Day

Aberdeen Mela is a vibrant cultural festival which helps bringing together of all diverse communities of Aberdeen in a common space to share each other’s living styles, cultural diversity and ethnicity. The Aberdeen Mela - a multicultural festival aims to provide an enjoyable time for the people of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire through celebrating the richness of the culture of the many different groups living in the area. In Aberdeen there is no such type of regular event where people can participate and enjoy their cultural festivity as in other parts of Scottish city such as Edinburgh and Glasgow. This would be a very potential platform for all the diverse communities to engage in such event where they can show and present their skills into a wider population and make social integration easy. Although Aberdeen city has a diverse community but still majority of ethnic people are not exposed with the current environment. Aberdeen Mela event will help make bridge on hard to reach communities, better social integration and bring them out of isolation to build up a better harmony on the diverse communities.

Such event will provide an opportunity to bring all the charitable organisation and commercial business together in a common platform to celebrate the diversity and multiculturalism of Aberdeen. This will also provide an opportunity for children to enjoy the day and be part of community.

Last Aberdeen Mela was held on 01 September 2024 at Union Terrace Gardens Aberdeen. This was one of the most successful multicultural event in the history of Aberdeen. There were more than 8000 participants enjoyed the event with different cultural shows, ethnic clothing, multicultural foods, children fun fair and information stalls from different public and charitable organisations.
