Despite the rumours that Notting
Hill Carnival would not happen this year because of with how many arrests and incidents
it ended up last year, the festival did take place this bank holiday in London
and was successful and sheer joy. Although there were a few arrests this year,
Notting Hill Carnival still remains the biggest and most famous in England. This
Caribbean culture inspired carnival is the largest in Europe that takes place
every August bank holiday in London since 1966 and takes its route from the Ladbroke
Grove to Westbourne Grove.
Londoners and the guests of the
city enjoyed the vivid dancers` parade in striking costumes, colourful floats, and
powerful sound systems that was playing not only traditional motive of calypso,
alfresco and pan bands but contemporary DJ tunes from all around the world, including
different international styles – Reggae, Samba, Funk, R&B, Latin House, Dub step and more. The visitors and participants were protected and looked after by
7,000 police officers, the sunny weather also allowed to fully admire lively
party atmosphere. The celebration gathered around 1 million spectators,
including young people and families with children, who could not only observe
but be involved in the street dancing. Sunday is more suitable for family with
kids, while the main parade is developing on Monday; the traditional Caribbean
meal is also available in numerous food stalls.
