The past two years have been incredibly challenging for everyone but through the work we have all been doing keeping the spirit of Carnival online and through workshops and more, we have seen our community thrive. I’ve seen these wonderful groups of people, brought together because of Notting Hill Carnival, help and support each other. That is an incredible thing.

He continued:

“In returning to the streets we can once again celebrate the culture, diversity and inclusivity that makes this event so amazing – we can’t wait to hear and see everything that is unique about Notting Hill Carnival, back where it belongs.”

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan added:

Over the August bank holiday weekend, there will be something for everyone with fantastic music, food and amazing, colourful parades lining the streets. Notting Hill Carnival showcases the spirit and soul of our city and the values we all hold so dear and reminds us that our city’s greatest strength is in our diversity, vibrancy and energy.”
