Traditionally, carnival has provided a wonderful opportunity for people to celebrate everything from nature, harvest and fertility to the struggle for freedom and expression. People often associate carnival with that of Trinidad and Tobago but both have been influenced by the styles, traditions and cultures of other continents including the Caribbean, South America, Europe and South-East Asia. Luton International Carnival includes the cultures and communities of Luton whilst continuing to develop and evolve into the most glittering spectacular and colourful event in the calendar.
