Community

Notting Hill Carnival is proudly a community-led event, its ever-increasing popularity over the last five decades has seen it become the wonderfully diverse and vibrant event it is today.

The Carnival community is not just about the August bank holiday weekend, it's all year around! Mas bands spend the whole year designing and making, hosting workshops for their communities that give them the opportunity to learn new skills and meet like minded people. Steel Bands rehearse all year around and often they can have over 100 players, many of which are from multiple generations of the same family which brings a beautiful spirit and and feeling of togetherness.

Become part of this wonderfully creative community by contacting the bands directly. You can find all of their details here for Mas Bands and here for Steel Pan Bands.
