Carnaval Del Pueblo is the largest single Latin American festival event in Europe, exploding onto Burgess Park this year in a huge celebration of colour, music and Latin flavours. Prepare to party in true Latin fashion during a day of free fun and festivities this summer.
Burgess Park will be transformed into an oasis of Latin culture, with traditional entertainment, food, crafts and more throughout the day. The crowds will be out to party in a vibrant festival atmosphere, bubbling with Latin rhythms and flavour. A parade of floats and costumed dancers will make its way to the park from Elephant and Castle, featuring dancers, floats and entertainers.
A selection of concerts will take place on the main stage, presenting a selection of live acts in the sun. Crowds can party down with some international merengue and salsa stars. The Lebron Brothers will be performing this year, and you can sample other acts from Paraguay, Brazil, Cuba and other Latin American countries at Carnaval del Pueblo 2010.
Burgess Park will be bubbling with song and dance during a day of fun and festivities, with plenty to see and do for visitors of all ages. A selection of well known musicians and artists will be taking part in events on the day including artists from Brazil and the Dominican Republic. The crowds can enjoy world class entertainment and have a go themselves in an upbeat party atmosphere.
This year’s Carnaval Del Pueblo is expected to be one of the biggest ever, attracting streams of partygoers to South London for a colourful day of music and merriment. A salsa dancing Guinness World Record attempt is set to take place, and the local community and visitors to the area can come together to celebrate Latin culture in the sun at what promises to be one of the biggest festival dates of the year.
