Luton Carnival

With many different groups, clubs, schools, societies and communities taking part, the parade brought together people in an eye catching and breath taking procession - demonstrating a diverse mix of arts, music and culture.

Cllr Lakhbir Singh, Luton Borough Council’s new Mayor said: "I would like to thank all the visitors to the town and residents for coming out in the poor weather to support the carnival, which was a boost to all the parade groups who should be commended for braving the elements to put on a fantastic procession. There was a great family atmosphere in Wardown Park with people of all ages and cultural backgrounds having a good time. Congratulations to everyone involved in the event for making it such a success."

With three stages and eight sound sites across the town, visitors to carnival were treated to music from around the world including, jazz, reggae, house, soca, roots, salsa and soul.
