Notting Hill Carnival

Notting Hill Carnival, also referred to as Europe’s biggest street festival, has taken place annually in Notting Hill, London since 1964. This festival was started by the West Indian community in West London during a time filled with racism. The event helped to bring many cultures together, Brazilians, Indians and more. It even created an atmosphere where blacks and whites co-operated. There were still many which were against the event, so much so that there was a brawl between the police and the black people in the 1970s. That brawl ended with police running away and eventually learning to make peace with the festival. Now, in recent years, the event has become widely accepted by many, attracting over 2.5 million people annually.
