The Luton carnival is fast becoming one of the most popular events in Britain since its conception and there is good reason for it! For the afternoon of 31st May Luton will come alive with a vivid array of culture from throughout the world. There is something there for everyone and is a carnival that is world renowned for its wide array of colours and music on offer. Since its first appearance in 1976 (originally as a street fair) the carnival has expanded and gained international status in 1998. Every year the carnival attracts over 100,000 people who are entertained thoroughly by the foods and the dancing that are presented from various people around the world. It takes many months to be able to organise the event and all who see it agree that it certainly is time well spent.

The weather will never stop the parade and you can be sure that the crowds will turn out whether rain or shine. This year the carnival promises to be one of the best ever with everything from African drummers to Brazilian dancers on offer and the event will be one of the most vivacious and lively parades ever. There will be a variety of stalls throughout the street which will offer souvenirs and food from across the globe. So make sure you head on down to Luton on the 31st May; this is one of the must see events on the British calendar and you would be a fool to miss it!
