ART Asia has announced details of this year's Southampton Mela Festival.

The free family event will take place at Hoglands Park on Saturday June 30 between 12 midday and 9pm.

Once again the city centre will come to life with the colours, sounds and smells from the South-Asian continent, as people get together to have fun and celebrate traditional and modern South-Asian culture.

This year guarantees an action packed day as Art Asia spice up the city, with a selection of live music and dance on the main stage.

Styles include South Asian Classical, Folk, World Music, Qawwali, Asian fusion, Bhangra and Bollywood.
