Event Information

Notting Hill Carnival
Almost a half-million Caribbean-born people migrated to the United Kingdom in the 1950s, hoping for a brighter future. The original point of the Notting Hill Carnival was to improve unity and harmony between UK residents and their newly arrived neighbors.

And is there any better way to build unity than having a party?

Initially celebrated as the Trinidad Carnival, this event celebrates London’s lively and diverse Caribbean culture and traditions. The first Notting Hill Carnival took place in 1966. That first event drew around 500 ready-to-party participants to the heart of the Notting Hill community.

Over the years, the carnival has transformed, evolving from its humble beginnings to become one of Europe’s most spectacular street festivals.

In 2023, Notting Hill Carnival attracted around 2 million party-goers. Londoners and tourists alike filled the streets of London with joy, music, and dance. All who joined the fun enjoyed a parade, music, and good food.
