Nothing captures the spirit of Barking & Dagenham Carnival 2025 quite like the joy, energy & love on the faces of our amazing community.

From the big smiles to the dance moves, the cheers and the proud moments – these reactions say it all: Carnival is more than an event, it’s a feeling. It’s about neighbours becoming family, cultures connecting & generations celebrating side by side. A true snapshot of what makes our borough so special. Beautifully captured by @trinisinlondon – the heart and soul of carnival, frozen in time. Were you there? Tag yourself, tag your friends & keep the vibes alive!
