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. Photo ©, David Sedlecky Expect so much rhythm, smiles, color and … so much warmth at the Notting Hill Carnival. Impossible not to get involved and drag. And this is the very essence of the event. An invitation to be protagonists, and not mere spectators. Maybe, masquerading as everyone does in these parts. Or, even, going up to dance dancing wagons in the streets of the city! 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.

This is a festival held every year at the second weekend of July, in the small town of Wayne, Nebraska, in the United States. Inaugurated in the distant 1981, today the Festival, even though it was not stormed by hordes of tourists, managed to attract the curiosity of people even outside its limited boundaries; including myself. The reason? Undoubtedly it is the fact of being a kitsch event, at the limits of the trash, with the chicken (and the hen) real center, navel of the city. All Wayne celebrates “his majesty the feather” with processions, sellers of crafts, food stands where the poultry is offered in all sauces and all forms.

The inhabitants of the tiny municipality of Træna, one of the smallest in terms of population and area, of all Norway, know this well. Just in this remote place, on an island in northern Norway, at 65 km away from the Atlantic, takes place the Traena Festival. If you are curious to know what makes this event so special … the answers could be many. Spectacular location, extraordinary hospitality and suggestive position. In this context, I would like to mention excellent music and excellent cuisine, and that’s it.The Guardian has included him among the 10 European Festivals, to watch at least once in his life! Here are some of the most interesting elements that make this island unique: Trænstaven is located at 338 meters above sea level. Træna is Norway’s oldest fishing village. It consists of more than 1.000 islands, islands and coral reefs. The settlement, on the whole island, is limited to Husøy, Selvær, Sanna and Sandøy. In Træna it is possible to sight around 180 different species of birds. Thanks to its position on the open sea, Træna is the last place where migratory birds pass from the east and west. From mid-May to mid-July, the midnight sun can be seen. Remains of stone age settlements are still visible on Sanna; here are the archaeological excavations. Several hiking trails run through the Træna mountains. Among these, there is the tracing of love. Photo, 2016 Økonomistudentene PRACTICAL INFO The Traena Festival is not an event for everyone.
