1HEART - History of Notting Hill Carnival

Notting Hill Carnival is Europe largest Street Festival and has been around since the 1960's!

Every year on the Bank Holiday weekend in August, almost 2 million people flood the streets of Notting Hill in a explosion of colour, music, food and of course, dancing! It's a weekend to celebrate, meet new friends and let your hair down...but there's much more to Notting Hill Carnival than that.

Steeped in history, the story of how Notting Hill Carnival was founded is one of heroism, passion and ultimately the unity of two Cultures colliding together.
