About this event

The gentler of Carnival's two days: J'ouvert at first light, then the Children's Parade, with mas bands, steel pan and sound systems filling the streets of west London. Sunday is programmed as Families and Children's Day and is the one to bring people who want the colour without Monday's crush.

Why we picked it

Europe's largest street festival, entirely free to attend, and Sunday is the day it is genuinely navigable.
