Notting Hill Carnival
Notting Hill Carnival is a vibrant and free street festival in London that celebrates Caribbean culture. It’s one of the world’s largest street parties and the biggest street festival in Europe!

The carnival is all about celebrating Caribbean heritage, arts, and culture. You’ll see spectacular floats, performers in dazzling costumes, and hear the joyful sounds of steel bands and calypso music filling the air. Notting Hill Carnival takes place on the last weekend of August, including the summer bank holiday Monday. It all happens in the vibrant streets of Notting Hill in west London. The carnival began in the 1960s as a way to bring together the diverse immigrant communities who had made west London their home. It was organized by activists who wanted to stand against racism and violence faced by Caribbean people in Notting Hill.
Today, it’s a joyful celebration of unity, culture, and freedom of expression.If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience filled with color, music, and community spirit, Notting Hill Carnival is the place to be!
