My Carnival
(by Simone Watkins – age 13)
London’s Notting Hill Carnival is the biggest street festival in Europe. There are large festivals in
Germany too, but only the carnival in Rio in Brazil is bigger.
It’s on the last weekend in August and more than fifty bands and discos drive through the streets on
trucks playing really loud West Indian music. My granddad is eighty now and he’s played in every
carnival since it began forty-five years ago. My dad’s in a reggae group and he’s teaching me to play the
drums. I want to have my own band one day.
Between the bands there are parades of dancers in fantastic costumes. My family all dance with Dad’s
band. Mum starts planning the costumes a year before and my sister and I help her to make them during
the school holidays. This year, mum and I have pink dresses and tights, with a white belt and cap. The
boys have pink suits too. My brother says he hates the colour but he still enjoys being in the parade.
My older sister’s costume is a swimsuit with lots of gold and silver decorations, and silver shoes. Her
headdress is very heavy and almost a metre-high – she found dancing in it difficult at first.
I love getting ready for the carnival. That’s why I never feel sad when it ends because I know we’ll soon
start to make plans for the next one.
