Join us for Camden Market's vibrant South Asian Mela. A dazzling celebration of culture, community and joy.

Enjoy a day full of parades, live music, dance, family crafts, authentic cuisine, artisan stalls, giant walkabout puppets, henna & face painting.

The Market Place, Hawley Wharf, will host fabulous performances on the Main Stage, and a huge array of stalls and workshops to enjoy. There will also be canalside music and activities, as well as parades and stilt-walkers roaming the Camden Market site. One of those parades will lead to the Amphitheatre, Stables Market, where a Dhol Drumming Workshop* will take place.

Workshops include:

-Samosa-Making

-Sari Dress-Up

-Yoga

-Collage-Making

-Rangoli Art Workshop

-Woodblock Printing

-Dhol Drumming with Beat Alliance (book on a separate Eventbrite*).

All activities are free and welcome to all.
