By

Mariah John-Leighton

During the hot summers months On the last weekend of August.

The people of all different colours get together in the streets of Notting Hill.

To celebrate the islands of Caribbean.

And carnival begins.

The music from the steel pans plays throughout the crowds. Drumming out the rhythm and the beat of the Caribbean.
