Dive into the vibrant rhythm of the Nottinghill Carnival, where the streets of London erupt with a kaleidoscope of colur, music and culture. This annual extravaganza, held over the August bank holiday weekend, transcends boundaries, uniting diverse communities in a spirited celebration of Caribbean heritage. Revelers don elaborate costimes, dance to infectious beats and savour the rich flavours of Caribbean cuisine.
Join millions of others who attend for the pulsating heartbeat of this iconic event, where tradition meets modern revelry in a harmonios fusion that is this carnival parade!
The carnival is a much loved tradition that has been taking place annually since way back in 1966, and has grown over the years to attract massive crowds over the course of the weekend, making it comfortably one of the largest parades in the world, and certainly one of the best known.
The main features of the Notting Hill carnival are the food - Jerk chicken, curried goat and rice and peas are the local specialties, and of course the 50,000 plus performers that bring you music and dance, with steel bands, Soca and Calypso Music the more traditional favourites that have been joined in recent years by an increasing range of more modern genres such as Reggae, R&B, Funk and House, making this an event that will appeal to visitors of all ages.
The Notting Hill Carnival in 2024 will take place during the bank holiday weekend 25 - 26th August.
The Main Parade and Carnival takes place on Bank Holiday Monday from 10.30am (the parade usually starts around at midday). There's due to be more than 80 bands taking part in this extravaganza and with sound systems dotted all around, the atmosphere will be electric. Again, you can make your way to the live stages at Emslie Horniman's Pleasance and Powis Square.
