Relive the Highlights of Crawley Fusion Mela 2026

This summer, Crawley Fusion Mela made a vibrant return to the town, bringing together residents and visitors for a weekend of music, dance, art and cultural celebration.

Taking place on 25th and 26th July, the free festival welcomed over 4,000 people across two days, celebrating the diversity, creativity and community spirit that make Crawley such a special place.

From world-class dance and live music at County Mall to colourful performances and activities in Memorial Gardens, the weekend brought people of all ages and backgrounds together to share in the joy of arts and culture.

Now, we’re looking back at some of our favourite moments with a short highlights film created by Clive Martin of Focus Film School, capturing the energy, creativity and atmosphere of the weekend.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, performed, volunteered and helped make the festival such a success, including our partners Crawley Borough Council and Cohesion Plus, with support from Arts Council England.
