Leicester Caribbean Carnival celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with Carnival Day activities at Victoria Park, Leicester on August 7th. Our theme this year is "Celebrating our Caribbean Heritage".

We chose this theme specifically to reflect on the history of the Leicester Caribbean Carnival and its development over the years and to introduce our new five year development plan for the sustainable future of the event.

Carnival Day activities begins at Victoria Park at 1:00pm with the official opening ceremony.

We guarantee our visitors a day they will enjoy to the fullest filled with colour, excitement and entertainment all combined for a great day out.

At Victoria Park the area is divided into zones. These include a Children's Village, Sound Systems, Main Arena, a large Fun Fair and the Reggae Zone, which features the ever-popular Abashanti.

Those visiting the Leicester Caribbean Carnival Village can be guaranteed that there will be lots to see and do. There is the chance to sample food from the Caribbean and other parts of the World; activities geared specifically at children in the activity tents and the mini funfair in the Children's Village.

A tour of Carnival Village is not complete without visiting the Main stage, which provide non-stop quality entertainment from 2:00 to 8:00pm. Take the opportunity to visit the promotional units, as well as those selling art and craft. There's so much to see and do so reserve August 7th 2010 for Carnival Day in Leicester.
