Held each August Bank Holiday since 1966, the Notting Hill Carnival is the largest festival celebration of its kind in Europe.

Every year the streets of West London come alive, with the sounds and smells of Europe’s biggest street festival.

The Carnival Bands will take to the roads from around 9 am on Sunday 26th August and the same time on Monday 27th of August. Sunday is Children’s day and Monday is Adults day. The Carnival parade should complete its procession by 7 pm.

Over the years the Northern entrances and exits have been the busiest, especially around the Harrow Road and Great Western Road. Carnival Organizers suggest to use other entrances particularly from the west or South.
