The Carnival of Colours

Over the past 42 years Notting Hill Carnival has been held in the last week of August on a weekend followed by a bank holiday. It was initiated first by the Black British immigrant with Caribbean background mostly from Trinidad (and Tobago). It has established itself over the years as one of the most important unofficial dance and music carnivals and one the most favoured ones for the tourists from all around the world. Dozens of tourists manage to be in or trip to London on the second half of August to attend and see the Notting Hill Carnival.
It usually begins on a Sunday with the kids’ and youngsters’ parades followed by the main parades on the following Monday, the bank holiday. It was started basically with the aim of appreciation of friendship and encouragement for peace and humane attitudes towards the others. This years’ carnival took place on Sunday 26 and Monday 27 August in Notting Hill, London.
