Where can you find gyrating dancers, a spectrum of colours, spectacular costumes and the best mix of Caribbean, African, Asian, English, Latin American and Irish rhythms and sounds? It’s got to be Luton International Carnival! It’s time to limber up, dust off your whistles ready and don your dancing shoes for Luton’s biggest street party! With over 100,000 people expected to attend it’s going to be a great day out for all the family with activities and entertainment across the town centre and in Wardown Park to suit all ages.
Communities and groups locally and from outside the town and have never failed to deliver spectacular costumes and this year will be no exception bringing the town centre alive with their colourful creations.
