Thousands hit London streets for Notting Hill Carnival
- Published

The streets of London are loud and bright with the sights and sounds of the Notting Hill Carnival this weekend.

Pretty in pink! The festival is a celebration of all things Caribbean and performers dress to entertain the crowds.

Spot the man in the costume! Some of the performers have huge outfits.

Thousand of people turn up to take part in the fun, and London gets very busy indeed!

The event takes place on the August Bank Holiday Weekend every year.

It's been getting bigger and bolder every year since it started, which was in 1966.

The organisers say the event is the biggest of its kind in Europe.

It's hard to pick one star of the show as all of the performers go to tremendous efforts when creating their outfits.

The performers dance to the street music as they parade around town.
