Masses of people queue in wait for one of the biggest festivals in the United Kingdom. Leicester has been celebrating the multicultural roots in its city since 1985, their first Caribbean carnival. Each year the number of parade marchers and spectators rises. Tens of thousands of Leicester’s own and abroad have caught carnival fever and specifically seek out Leicester to quench their insatiable thirst. The street parade is filled with bikini clad masqueraders, music trucks, and those spectators who can’t help but dance along the sidelines, any chance to skim off the good vibes. Come with an empty stomach after the energy spent on the road dancing, you’ll want to gain it back and then some on the Caribbean treats featured post-parade route.
