About This Event
Prem Prakash Mandal Mandir presents Dussehra Mela 2026 at Epping Soccer Stadium, its fourth consecutive year running the mela. It opens at 2:00pm on Saturday 24 October and the afternoon builds towards the traditional evening finale, marking the victory of good over evil.
The programme features a live Ramlila, cultural performances by children from the community, and a grand effigy burning, closed out with a fireworks display. Around the main stage there are food stalls, shopping and market stalls, and family fun and activities for children. A lucky draw runs on the day, with a brand-new car as the prize.
The mela is family-friendly and billed for all age groups. Entry is free, but registration is compulsory - book a free ticket through Premier Tickets before you come.
Right of admission is reserved and bags may be searched; anyone behaving inappropriately can be removed from the venue with no refund, and the organisers reserve the right to broadcast or record parts of the event. Epping Soccer Stadium sits off Harvest Home Road in Epping's Lyndarum estate, north of the Epping town centre. Organiser.
