Program, Parades Notting Hill Carnival 2026 WHERE: London, EnglandWHEN: 30th and 31st August 2026 One of the most beautiful cities in the world. One of the most famous and elegant districts. Uncasable lights and colors. Dances, fashion shows and fantastic choreography. And lots of music. Here are the ingredients that make the Notting Hill Carnival, one of the highlights of the London summer program. The party was born in the distant 1965, on the initiative of the Caribbean community in London, to protest against racism, and the lack of working and accommodation conditions. To these serious conditions, it was decided to respond by organizing a colorful, fun and wild event. Today, the Notting Hill Carnival can be considered second only to the unapproachable Rio de Janeiro. It is no coincidence that every year attracts over two million visitors. The event takes place over two days, on the occasion of Bank Holiday, a party that falls on the last Monday of August.

Two crazy days of dj music, afterparties, floats, parades and stands with gastronomic specialties await you. Obviously, Afro-Caribbean culture will be the true protagonist of the event. Beautiful dancers and dancers will enliven the streets of the neighborhood with their dancing and dancing choirs. On foot, or on board the wagons, they will take you through the streets of Notting Hill, to the rhythm of Calypso, Samba, Reggae, Drum and Bass … Genres that have always played a fundamental role in the culture of the population. You will learn to admire the calypso, a very ancient song dating back to the period of slavery in sugar plantations in Trinidad.

Every night of November 5, all of England celebrates what is also called Bonfire Night, or, Night of the Bonfires. An incredible ceremony, in which bonfires and pyrotechnic fireworks are the absolute protagonists, illuminating the skies of the country until late at night. In the town of Lewes, close Brighton, perhaps the most particular and incredible ceremony takes place. Ceremony which, among other things, is inspired by another historical event. In 1555, in fact, 17 Protestant martyrs were put to the stake in the main square of the town. In remembrance of that circumstance, incredible bonfires are organized in which effigies of prime ministers, presidents or terrorists are burned. At one time, the images depicting the Pope ended up in the pyre! Photo ©, Shane Global During Guy Fawkes Night, you will see locals parading in extravagant medieval outfits. Fires, songs and dances until late in the evening. You will admire flaming crosses. And of course, fireworks and bonfires.
