Next Carnival: Saturday, 14th June 2008

The Northampton Carnival has a great local history and always aims to unite communities all around Northampton during the event itself. The people of Northampton and surrounding area's each year come together in order to share good feeling and enjoy the culture that is carnival time.

Previous carnival's have included dancers, musicians, talented artists, and many other entertainments to help the people enjoy the day and bring the crowd together as one united community. Many communities dress up in costume to go with a chosen theme from the organisers, there are many colours, cultures and age ranges within the carnival procession itself that help people unite to enjoy the day.

Other carnival communities from the UK regularly join in to to give the carnival a national feel, with more faces and colours it really gives the Northampton Carnival the sense of life. The objectives are simply to spread the spirit of the communities of Northampton, through many art forms so that those either taking part or watching the event can feel a sense of enjoyment that they have taken part in a truly magical community event.

Contact the Carnival committee with any idea's or if you want to help or even to support the site and the people that make the Northampton Carnival what it is. We would hope that the carnival grows to be alongside Luton, Notting Hill & Leeds are the biggest to really show the UK who Northampton's communities are.
