Merhaba Festival 2026

As-salaam 'alykum. Welcome to a celebration of flavours sounds and sights inspired by the Islamic world, made right here in Rochdale. 

Culture Co-op presents a festival of street food, live music, crafts and family activities. Created by their Islamic Arts Co-op, Merhaba brings all together for a day of community cohesion, togetherness and fun. 

“We want to show people something that has always been true; that Muslims are a part of life in Rochdale, not apart from it. Merhaba might be a single day long festival, but we will always feast and dance together, just as we always have.”
