As the sun beat down upon the streets of Moss Side, the joyful sounds of steel drums filled the air. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Manchester Caribbean Carnival has returned with a bang.
Spanning over this weekend (August 13 and 14), Alexandra Park is playing host to the Carnival with plenty of booming music, delicious food and extravagant costumes, following a short hiatus over the last two years due to the COVID pandemic.
This year, the Carnival is focussing on the theme of ‘Unity’, whilst celebrating Manchester’s rich Caribbean and African history in the Moss Side community. The carnival will also mark 60 years of Jamaican Independence.
