We are so excited by all the bands who will join us for our 50th Luton International Carnival!
On Sunday 24th May, we will be joined by carnival groups from across Luton and beyond who will all come together to make our 50th Anniversary pure GOLD! With approximately 700 participants expected to be part of the parade they will all dance their way from Market Hill to Wardown Park, with smiles on their faces and hopefully making all who see them smile and dance along. The procession will include a beautiful mix of cultures, ages, and communities all dancing together. From UKCCA's commitment to bringing people together regardless of background or ability, to our planet-friendly green initiatives using recycled materials and electric-powered sound systems and vehicles, this year's carnival promises to be a brilliant example of how Luton celebrates its diversity whilst looking after our future. It will be one big, happy eco-system of family fun that celebrates the past, the present and the in the most spectacular way!
