The excitement is REAL and the countdown is nearly over! In just 2 days, the streets of Barking will come alive with the sound, colour and power of CARNIVAL!

This year, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible TALENT from our local schools and dance groups bringing performances full of passion, pride and pure energy!

From Caribbean to African, South Asian to Eastern European … traditional to modern day – expect diverse cultural representation that truly reflects the heart of our borough.
