Who needs Rio when London has Notting Hill!

One of the world's largest and most famous street festivals, Notting Hill Carnival is a vibrant celebration of Caribbean culture and community

The heart of the carnival is the parade, elaborately dressed performers in stunning, colourful costumes, perform and entertain along with Mas bands and groups of masqueraders.

The infectious rhythms of Caribbean music, particularly reggae, calypso, and socas create an electric atmosphere. You are certain to experience Steel pan music at Notting Hill, bands perform throughout the event, showcasing the unique and vibrant sounds of this traditional Caribbean instrument.  You can't help but chill and move to the beat when you hear that distinctive sound!

We have to mention the Caribbean food, stalls offering delicious dishes such as jerk chicken, rice and peas, patties, and curried goat are everywhere.

Numerous after-parties and events take place in and around Notting Hill, extending the celebrations into the night. These parties often feature live music, DJs, and dancing.  Will you be partying with a sophisticated Aster or keeping it minimal with an Electra and funky fabric strap?

The carnival is a celebration of community and multiculturalism, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds to enjoy and celebrate Caribbean culture. The vibrant, inclusive atmosphere is one of the festival's most cherished aspects.
