Notting Hill Carnival is an annual street festival that celebrates Caribbean culture, primarily centered on music, dance, and food. It takes place in the Notting Hill area of London, England, over the August bank holiday weekend. The carnival is famous for its vibrant parades, featuring elaborate costumes, steel bands, calypso, soca, and reggae music. It has grown to become one of the largest street festivals in Europe, attracting millions of visitors every year.

Originating in the 1960s, Notting Hill Carnival was a response to racial tensions in the UK, especially following the Notting Hill race riots of 1958. It was initially organized by Caribbean immigrants, primarily from Trinidad and Tobago, to celebrate their cultural heritage and bring unity to the community.
