The Carnaval del Pueblo is a festival celebrating Latin American culture, held in Burgess Park, London in the first week of August. Heading into its anniversary London’s second biggest street festival, Carnaval del Pueblo, explodes in joyous and colourful fiesta glory onto the streets of Elephant & Castle and then at Burgess Park, Camberwell, making it the largest celebration of Latin American culture in Europe.
Inspired by the vibrant costumes and dances from the famous carnivals of Rio de Janeiro, Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, Bolivia, Ecuador and more, Carnaval Del Pueblo starts with its spectacular and technicolour giant float procession from Elephant Road (Elephant & Castle) at 12pm midday as people line the streets in their thousands, before making its way through Walworth Road into Albany Road and finishing at Burgess Park at 3pm. Eco-friendly, many of the costumes and floats are made of of recycled materials, and floats are pushed rather than running on fuel, and hundreds join in the procession as it makes its way towards the park.
