Festival Name: Notting Hill Carnival
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Carnival, Street Parade, Party
But all that changes on the August bank holiday weekend as the Notting Hill Carnival - Europe's largest street party and second only in the world to Rio's Carnaval - swings and sways its way into W11.


Festival Name: Winter Swimming Championships
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Sport - Water, Sport - Extreme, Bizarre
It's true: some do like it hot. The rest, on the other hand, drink Brass Monkeys, Blue Tits, and Chilly Willy: The only three beers served at the Winter Swimming Championships


Article Title: Canada Day in London
Festival Name: Canada Day
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): National, Historical, Party
Canadians seldom get vocal about much. There are loads of us in London but we never make ourselves known like our fellow Aussie and Kiwi working holidaymakers. A big reason for that could be that we don't have many events in London to support, but when July 1st rolls around, Canadians flock to the Maple Leaf pub in Covent Garden to show their patriotism.


Article Title: Respect
Festival Name: Respect Festival
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Multicultural, Music - World, Music - Varied
It was a beautiful summers day in London and I was on the way to RESPECT - an Anti-racism and Multicultural Festival. This annual event has been held in July, for the past 2 years in various parks around London. This year the festival was held in Victoria Park, Hackney.


Festival Name: The Championships - Wimbledon
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Sport - Racquet, Traditional
As far as sporting festivals go they don't come much purer than the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club's annual Championships, at Wimbledon.
