Who is the nottinghill carnival based on?

The Notting Hill Carnival is inspired by Caribbean traditions and celebrations, particularly reflecting the cultural heritage of Caribbean immigrants in the UK. It began in 1966 as a response to racial tensions and aimed to celebrate Caribbean culture, arts, and community. The carnival features vibrant parades, music, and dance, showcasing the rich diversity of the Caribbean diaspora. Its roots can be traced back to earlier Caribbean carnivals, particularly those in Trinidad and Tobago.
