Newry Mela

A Celebration of Joy & Wonder

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of laughter, magic, and family fun at the Newry Mela, proudly presented by The Newry Indian Arts Club! This year, we’re thrilled to host the Magic George Show—a spectacular performance blending dazzling magic, circus skills, and side-splitting comedy. Watch in amazement as George brings his mischievous puppet pals, like cheeky monkey Geoffrey and lovable raccoon Norman, to life, with plenty of audience participation and surprises along the way. A perfect event for all ages, this show embodies our mission to unite communities through shared joy and cultural celebration. Don’t miss this vibrant highlight of Newry’s cultural calendar—where tradition meets whimsy, and every moment sparks wonder
