- Birmingham International Carnival
Birmingham International Carnival takes place biennially in Birmingham, England.
Caribbean style carnivals were held in Handsworth Park there, from 1984 – 1994. The following year, the carnival moved from the park onto the streets of Handsworth, since which time it was known as the "Birmingham Carnival". Since 1999, it has been held as the "Birmingham International Carnival" in Perry Barr Park, following a procession from Handsworth's Soho Road.
Thousands of revellers celebrate to carnival music, while floats and colourful, vibrant costumes light up the carnival procession route.
