Belfast’s biggest ever spring party returns with a show stopping line-up of South Asian food, music, dance and colour! Known across the globe as India’s most energetic and vibrant holiday, the ‘Festival of Colours’ or ‘Holi’ (which translates to ‘Colour’ in Hindi) celebrates the arrival of Spring in a truly spectacular fusion of colour, culture and creativity.

Returning this year in a brand new larger venue at The King’s Hall on Sunday 11th March, the festival is developed by ArtsEkta – NI’s leading ethnic arts organisation and proud organisers of the Belfast Mela. Visitors will participate, learn and experience the vibrancy of South Asian culture and traditions through a fantastic programme of music, dance, visual arts and food. Headlining the event is Semi Finalists of SKY 1’s Got to Dance – ‘Bhangra Heads’. A step away from the traditional style of Bhangra, they keep it young and fresh being a Fusion Bhangra crew that incorporate different elements of worldwide dance styles. They will be joined by a myriad of fresh local ethnic talent together with an amazing Asian DJ.
