THE NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL

Carnival coming soon, so I think this year you can learn a little bit about  the Notting Hill Carnival.
The Notting Hill Carnival is an annual event which since 1966 has taken place on the streets of Notting Hill, London. It is in AUGUST over two days and it is the largest festival celebration of its kind in Europe. Every year the streets of West London come alive, with the sounds and smells of Europe's biggest street festival. It is led by members of the British African-Caribbean community.
The Notting Hill Carnival usually gets under way on the Saturday with a steel band competition. Sunday is Children's Day, with a shorter parade route. Bank Holiday Monday sees the main parade.
