    Story

    £1 for £1 of your donation will be matched by Arts Council England through Catalyst:EVOLVE programme. Please donate now.

    The carnival is in it's 42nd year and is a key feature of Derby's event programme. It is organised by approximately 100 volunteers, who offer thousands of hours of their time to make this a successful community event.

    Derby Caribbean Carnival had all its' infrastructure funding cut last year and was unable to offer the park event, although managed to deliver a Carnival parade for the enjoyment of people from all ages and cultural backgrounds due to it's continued Arts Council funding through EMCCAN.

    This year the organisers want to bring back the park element, which was missed by so many people last year.

    The carnival is an integral part of Derby's history and is rooted in the Caribbean culture and traditions. It is a crucial occasion which celebrates freedom and emancipation. It engages people from all over the UK, bringing business to local shops, hotels and local transport. Hundreds of young people take part in the carnival parade, making costumes, dancing, playing music, etc. The smells of the food, the artefacts, funfair and the warm welcoming atmosphere bring a real Caribbean spirit in July each year.

    Please help the carnival SURVIVE and THRIVE so that they can continue to bring everyone together at this fabulous community event.

    Thank you or your support!
