Notting Hill Festival 2008

Sorry for the prolonged ‘Coming Soon’. I was held back by work.


Anyway, I was referring the ‘Street Party’ to Notting Hill Carnival which took place between 31 August 08 and 1 September 08.



Notting Hill Carnival is an annual event which takes place on the streets of Notting Hill, London, UK each August, over two days. It is led by members of the Caribbean population, many of whom have lived in the area. The carnival has attracted up to 2 million people in the past, making it one of the few largest street festival in the world.

The carnival parades start on Sunday with Children's Day while the main Notting Hill Carnival parade takes place on Monday. Here are some of the snapshot of the main events:

There is the fashion parade...










The is the band to give the carnival the music....






Then there are fancy customers as well...





The carnival even attracted Sun Wukong - the Monkey God!
