Mini Carnival at London Heathrow Airport

Mini Carnival at London Heathrow Airport!!!!!!!

I must commend all parties involved for flying the Trinidad and Tobago flag very HIGH in London-town this morning.

Bright and early all arrivals and departures at London Heathrow were treated to the sweet sounds of Steel Pan, and dazzled with the beauty of Our Colourful UK mas bands carnival costumes. Beauty!!!!

If Londoners and/or foreigners didn't know about Trinidad before...well this morning they were given a brief lesson of Trinidad and our culture. :)

As part of the Trinidad and Tobago High Commission in London's Cultural Fest for the the Olympic season....they organised a mini warm meet and greet celebration for all the Trinidad Olympic hopefuls and others.

Entertainment provided ; a Steel orchestra and a snippet of what UK Carnival has to offer with costumes, from some well known UK mas bands : Bacchanalia , Mass with a difference (part of the Poison uk line up) and Shipwrecked

Nottinghill Carnival

Notting Carnival is one of Europe's Biggest Street festival and is always celebrated on the August Bank Holiday where every year the streets of West London come alive, with the sounds and smells of Europe’s biggest street festival. Twenty miles of vibrant colorful costumes surround over 40 static sound systems, hundreds of Caribbean food stalls,over 40,000 volunteers and over 1 million Notting Hill carnival revellers.

The Notting Hill Carnival usually gets under way on the Saturday with the steel band competition. Sunday is Kids’ Day. On the Bank Holiday Monday, the main parade takes place. It generally begins on Great Western Road, then winds its way along Chepstow Road, on to Westbourne Grove, and then Ladbroke Grove. In the evening, the floats leave the streets in procession, and people carry continue partying at the many Notting Hill Carnival after parties.
