Carnaval Del Pueblo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Carnaval Del Pueblo is Europe's largest celebration of Latin American culture, held in Burgess Park, London on the first week of August.
The carnival features a spectacular procession of exotic floats, costumes, musicians and dancers, making their way through London Bridge, along Borough High Street, Elephant and Castle and Walworth Road, finally arriving in Burgess Park. The event incorporates elements of Latino culture from all over Latin America, featuring dance rhythms, food and music. Throughout the day, a mixture of musicians perform on the four stages set up around the park. In 2006, there were appearances from Puerto Rican reggaeton star Andy Boy and the Colombian all-woman orchestra Canela, among many others.
