Notting Hill Carnival and Mas Africa: Celebrating Culture, Color, and Community

Every year, the streets of London come alive with rhythm, color, and culture during the iconic Notting Hill Carnival, one of the largest street festivals in the world. It’s a vibrant celebration of Caribbean heritage, freedom, and expression that unites millions in music, dance, and artistry.

At the heart of this celebration is Mas Africa, a collective bringing African flair and authenticity to the carnival stage. Mas Africa represents a bold fusion of African roots and carnival spirit, creating unforgettable visual storytelling through costume, dance, and sound. Our presence at Notting Hill isn’t just about entertainment; it’s about reclaiming space, sharing heritage, and building community across generations.

From stunning costumes available for hire (for both adults and kids) to a passionate team of volunteers, Mas Africa invites everyone to be part of something meaningful. Whether you’re dancing in the band, sponsoring the movement, or cheering from the crowd, you are the carnival.
