About this event
Europe's largest street festival turns 60. Sunday is Family Day, with the Children's Day parade setting off from 10:30 and a gentler crowd; Monday is Adults' Day and the full mas parade, running until early evening. Static sound systems, Caribbean food stalls and steel bands fill the surrounding streets across both days.
Why we picked it
Two million people, no ticket, sixty years of Caribbean London - the single biggest free event in the window.
Free entry
Free to attend on both parade days; no tickets required for parades, sound systems or street food. The Saturday Panorama steel band competition is ticketed and is not included here.
