For over forty years, the Notting Hill Carnival has been held on the August bank holiday weekend. This event was set up by Caribbean immigrants to celebrate their culture.
Colorful floats zigzagged their way through the streets. Men, women and children in lavish costumes danced to the beat of steel drums, horns, whistles and a variety of Caribbean music.
And there were plenty of Caribbean specialties on hand, like jerk chicken readily available from vendors on the street.
The Notting Hill Carnival has been labeled the world's second largest street festival, second only to one held in Rio de Janeiro, (pron day juh nehro) Brazil.
One of the world's biggest street festivals has come to a close in London yesterday. Around 750,000 people hit the streets of the trendy area of Notting Hill on Monday alone.
