The Notting Hill Carnival began in 1966, initiated by Trinidadian activist Claudia Jones to create a joyful outdoor space for children and the West Indian community after the Windrush arrival.
Historically, the roots of Notting Hill Carnival trace back to the traditions of the Caribbean, influenced by pre-Lenten Mardi Gras and celebrations forbidden to enslaved people.
