Around 1,000 people enjoyed games, costume making and steel pan workshops at a Caribbean-themed carnival.
Just INCarnival’s Carnival in the Park, took place in Claremont Park, Brent Cross Town, on August 17.
From 1pm to 6pm, crowds enjoyed the best traditions of Caribbean Carnival with costume-making, steel pan workshops, carnival-themed dance and fitness classes, carnival games, face painting, and henna tattoos.
Justin Thomas, who co-founded and organised the carnival with Dianne Ramdeen, said: “It was great to see children from a wide variety of backgrounds participating in the activities, wearing the costumes and dancing along to the steelpan and carnival music.”
Cricklewood councillor Alan Schneiderman, who is also Barnet Council's cabinet member for environment & climate change, said: “Having the opportunity to celebrate different cultures throughout the year at Brent Cross Town is a proud reflection of our diverse and fun borough.
"We all enjoyed celebrating Caribbean culture last weekend and I look forward to seeing what’s in store for future events.”
Brent Cross Town is a 180-acre, £8 billion regeneration project delivered by Related Argent and Barnet Council. When complete, it will comprise 6,700 new homes, workspace for 25,000 people, schools, a high street, leisure spaces and over 50 acres of parks and playing fields.
