Leicester Caribbean Carnival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leicester Caribbean Carnival is an annual event, held in early August in Leicester, England.
The community-organised carnival has been held annually since 1985 (with the exception of 2006) on the first Saturday in August, with a parade around the city of Leicester (usually taking in the city centre and the suburb of Highfields), culminating in an event on Victoria Park. The parade is usually preceded by a week of cultural events. It is the third-largest Caribbean carnival in the UK, after the Leeds and Notting Hill carnivals.
The 2006 festival did not take place due to a lack of funding. It returned in 2007.[1]
