The event is a celebration of all things Caribbean and includes the carnival procession that starts and finishes at Potternewton Park where a crowd of up to 150,000 people gather. The carnival takes about 3 hours to cover its route. A music stage in Potternewton Park provides live music whilst the parade itself includes hundreds of costumed dancers, several masquerade bands, steel bands and floats.
