The stories of 25 people who moved to the town are being told in a photographic exhibition.
"Panjabi Tales of Willenhall" is an exhibition of photos created by Manpreet Darroch and it will be on display from Sunday at Willenhall Memorial Park in time for Sucha Mela 2024.
It focuses on people who migrated to the area between the 1950s and 1980s and Mr Darroch said he wanted to "honour their journey and inspire future generations". Many of the people featured worked in the town's lock and key industry, including Jaswant Kaur Rattan, who came to the West Midlands in 1966.
The organisers of the Mela, which takes place on 7 July, have promised music and dance from performers including Channi Singh, Nachhatar Gill, Heera Group and Lehmber Hussainpuri.
