Leicester Caribbean Carnival is an annual event, held in early August in Leicester, England.
Contents
The community-organised carnival has been held annually since 1985 (except 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 & Notting Hill carnivals.
The event didn't occur in 2006, due to a lack of funds. It returned in 2007.
