All is now set for this year’s Afro-Caribbean Carnival in the East Midland’s city of Leicester. The African-Caribbean Carnival is the biggest carnival in the United Kingdom outside Notting Hill.
This year’s celebration is remarkable as it also commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of Slave Trade. As usual we are expecting a colourful carnival with all the pomp and pageantry that accompanies the yearly celebration; though some high level local council politics denied us last year’s celebration.
There will be something for everyone during and after the celebration; Caribbean foods, drink, music especially reggae, and our dear Leicester boy ‘Mark Morrison’ of the 90’s ‘return of the mack’ hit will be on stage to thrill the revelers.
Of course, there will be the official carnival after party at the African Caribbean Centre; if you haven’t been to that party you haven’t started. Not to worry, yours sincerely will be sneaking about to bring you highlights of the carnival that will feature dances, music, costumes and foods; I have to warn you some of the contents may be offensive.
