The Notting Hill Carnival（狂欢）is regarded as the largest street party in Europe. The Carnival, which takes place in the streets of the west London district, was made famous by the movie Notting Hill starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant.

This great festival began with the Black immigrants（移民）from the Caribbean, particularly from Trinidad, where the Carnival tradition is very strong. At that time, they didn't have working opportunities and their housing conditions were poor. So people there created a festival to fight against racism（种族主义）.When the Notting Hill Carnival first started, around 500 people attended the Caribbean festival. Today it attracts hundreds of thousands to London.

This holiday always falls on the last Sunday of August and ends on the following Monday. There are scores of massive "sound systems", many beautiful and big floats（游行彩车）and steel drum bands（钢鼓乐队）.There are hundreds of stalls（货摊）along the streets of the area selling all kinds of food and drinks including Caribbean specialties（特产）.

Notting Hill Carnival is completely free, but a certain amount of money is needed when you go to the parties and warm-ups at bars and clubs. It is really wonderful that so many people can come together for one weekend of eating, laughter and music- forgetting about life's troubles for 48 hours. The smiles and dancing are the spirits of the Carnival. It has become one of the symbols of Britain.
