Check out the post carnival recap from our Luton Carnival 2025 Champion himself, actor and screen star, Colin Salmon
At UKCCA, we're passionate about bringing people together through vibrant, welcoming events that showcase the incredible richness of Luton's community. Our heart lies in connecting with young people and adults who deserve more chances to participate and shine.
Everyone, both Lutonians and visitors to Luton, belong at our celebrations. We're committed to weaving connections across all communities and cultures, embracing every race, religion, background, age and ability that makes our town special.
The Luton International Carnival captures this spirit perfectly. It's where joyful traditions meet new friendships, where laughter echoes through the streets, and where families create memories together. Picture it as a living tapestry of celebration - where every thread of our community comes together to create something beautiful and unforgettable.
Luton Carnival is proud to have our returning Carnival Champions!
We are so lucky to have local actor Colin Salmon and artist, Fiona Hawthorne grace our Luton International Carnival as our champions for 2026!
Colin and Fiona use their powers to spread the word about the carnival on social media. But that's not all! They will also bring their steel band, UFO, to add some lively tunes to the Luton International Carnival's Acoustic Steel Pan Zone, alongside performances by Steel Pan in Motion.
The carnival will be full of music, community spirit, and we are delighted that our local celebrity champion and his amazing wife will join us for this amazing celebration!
