The Notting Hill Carnival kicked off yesterday in West London.

Lots of kids dressed up in colourful costumes for a big parade through the streets.

Lots of people spend time making their own costumes for the event., which takes place every year.

Ayshah joined some of them as they got ready to take part in the Carnival.

During Carnival, there is lots of music and dancing. These kids are part of a steel band.

These girls dressed up as dinosaurs as part of their Carnival parade.

This year, many people took time at Carnival to remember the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire. Grenfell Tower is close to the route of the parade.
