Festivities, customs, colour, shine, and happiness is on the streets this year at the Notting Hill Carnival, a world-recognized carnival where Mas, Soca, Calypso, and many other rhythms gather to give you a unique experience.

This carnival was celebrated for the first time in 1966 in Notting Hill neighbourhood by the Afro-Caribbean community, and since then has grown up to become a world-recognized carnival. This festival is to celebrate the black culture and community so is full of iconic elements of African culture such as percussion rhythms, colours, customs, masks, and much more.
