Birmingham’s biennial carnival is a colourful, festival celebrating African-Caribbean culture, art, food and entertainment. Everyone is welcome at this multicultural celebration, which starts with a fantastic carnival procession from Handsworth
Park to Perry Park, led by a new Carnival Queen. The Queen will lead the carnival procession, and will be the ‘face of carnival‘ for 2 years until the next queen is chosen.
Birmingham Carnival brings the whole community together, celebrating with a Mas parade, live music Carnival Queen competition and more for the whole family.
The Carnival Procession starts at 1pm from Handsworth Park, and ends up at Perry Park at approx 3.30: then the party lasts until 9.00pm.
Dont miss this annual event. We Won’t
And after the party finishes , why not return to Hatters Hostel Birmingham , where you can relax with a nice FREE cup of tea, or continue the party on at one of the local bars.
