Mela Carnival

Our carnival parade filled the city centre with colour and rhythm, finishing with a global party at City Hall.
All the fun of the carnival! Bringing together hundreds of participants and artists from across the city and beyond, our spectacular carnival parade filled the streets with vibrant global costumes, pulsating world music and dance, and amazing processional sculpture. The afternoon rounded off in the Mela Global Village at City Hall grounds with music, dance and family workshops.
