It's been three long years since a full St Paul's Carnival illuminated Bristol. The one-day shindig is our city's biggest celebration of Afro-Caribbean culture, and at its heart, it unites all communities.
So much effort goes into creating the colourful, sparkling costumes of each float, which glide with smiling faces and flamboyant dance moves. Lively music blares from every corner of St Paul's, creating a true carnival atmosphere.
The free event caters to all ages, with kids dancing in the procession alongside pensioners and everyone in between. Away from the main stalls, locals sell their homemade treats on their doorsteps, or punch - made using a family's ancient recipes - can be purchased on the pavement.
