Key London roads are closed to traffic for the Festival’s spectacular Night Carnival. Over 2,000 musicians, dancers, performers and masqueraders come from across the country and the world with their amazing lanterns, illuminated costumes and fantastic structures – an incredible and un-missable display of carnival creativity.
The Carnival starts at 6pm on Victoria Embankment, travels east crossing the Thames at Blackfriars Bridge, and finishes behind the Royal National Theatre.
