NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL

The streets of west London come alive every August bank holiday weekend with Europe's biggest street festival. Notting Hill Carnival happens every year on the last weekend of August, including the summer bank holiday ( public holiday ) Monday. The carnival usually fills the streets of west London with Caribbean colours, music and flavours. Dance to the sound of steel bands and calypso music, join food and drink shows and learn more about the carnival and its people. The Notting Hill Carnival was first held in 1966 as an offshoot of the Trinidad Carnival, celebrating Caribbean culture and traditions in London. When the Notting Hill Carnival first started around 500 people attended the Caribbean festival.

You can usually expect to see some 50,000 performers in the parade and more than 30 sound systems, with more than one million people

Except at high northerly latitudes, above the Arctic Circle – where daylight is continuous for many months – the day on which the summer solstice occurs is the day of the year with the longest period of daylight.
