The Notting Hill Carnival is the largest street festival in Europe and
originated in 1964 as a way for Afro-Caribbean communities to celebrate their
own cultures and traditions. Taking place every August Bank Holiday weekend in
the streets of London W11, It is an amazing array of sounds and colourful
sights.
During these days, people have time to get dirty,
adventurous or just to dress in a comical or carnivalesque outfit. Jouvert
allows music lovers to jive along the streets to African drums or steel bands.The last day of
festivities is when you can see the
The Grand finale
showcasing, a sea of vibrant colours as 60 bands in magnificent costumes dance
to the tantalising rhythms of the mobile sound systems or steel bands.
It's a time to get a
taste for the fantastically diverse attractions of food, tunes and other fun
activities, all adding to the Carnival’s one of a kind atmosphere.

Hello!
ReplyDeleteSorry for not answer earlier, but I had completely forgotten the blog.
I never have heard about Notting Hill Carnival. I think it's another interesting way to celebrate carnival and the residents have to promote this festival like this it will be more popular and society can know other great carnival festivals.
