Notting Hill Carnival

The Londoners celebrate Carnival too ... but only in August! Every year crowds of people come together in the Notting Hill streets for two days of parades, dancing, food and plenty of festival fun. Notting Hill Carnival is London's most famous street party. The first day of the carnival (Sunday) is Children’s Day. Children and family groups are encouraged to join the party and participate in special competitions. The second day (Monday) is a bank holiday (=feriado) and people dance to the sounds of hip-hop beats, reggae and modern dance hits in a colourful parade.
