Notting Hill Carnaval in London this Weekend!

The excitement is in the air for the 50th anniversary of Notting Hill's Carnaval in London, happening this weekend. The Carnaval in London is the largest in Europe and likely the 3rd largest in the world behind Brazil and Trinidad & Tabago.

Notting Hill Carnaval kicked off with a launch party at Cargo and the buzz hasn't stopped since. This year we are participating in the parade so all weekend we'll be getting ready for the big day on Monday, August 31st. We are parading with Paraiso School of Samba and have the pleasure of having Bruno Ribas, a famous puxador (sama singer) in Rio singing for us and Mestre Esteves leading the Bateria. If you are in London, be sure to follow us real time by texting FIND to 0775 769 9292 or finding us on the map. You can also follow along with the song for this year.

Beijos!
