Notting Hill Carnival is Europe's largest street festival — two days every August bank holiday weekend in West London where two million people celebrate Caribbean culture through music, dance, costume and extraordinary food. Rooted in the Windrush generation's traditions since 1966, it fills the streets of Notting Hill with sound systems, steel bands and the most joyful crowd in British cultural life.
Europe's largest street festival. Caribbean culture in West London. Two million people over the bank holiday weekend. Free entry. Portobello Road is the heart of it.
