The Notting Hill Camival (諾丁山狂歡節) has been taking
place in London, on the last weekend in August, every year since
1964.
This great festival began with the Black immigrants(黑人移
民) from the Caribbean, particularly from Trinidad, where the
Camival tradition is very strong. People there dreamed of creating
a festival to fight against racism (種族主義). At that time, they
didn't have working opportunities and their housing conditions were
poor.
This holiday always falls on the last weekend of August with
Sunday and Monday being the major camival days. There are
scores of massive" sound systems" , many beautiful and big floats
(游行彩車) and steel drum bands (鋼鼓樂隊). There are
hundreds of stalls (貨攤) along the streets of the area selling all
sorts of food and drink including Caribbean specialties (特產).
Dressed in different colors, hundreds of children get the
parade under way on Sunday, ahead of more than 100 floats and
thousands of performers who will stage the main parade on
Monday. Party-goers will eat, drink and dance their way through
the streets.
The camival, which takes place in the streets of the west
London district, was made famous by the movie Notting Hill
starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Crant. It has become one of the
most celebrated symbols of multicultural Britain.
