LONDON, August 13, 2014 -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- The August bank holiday weekend is fast approaching and there's no better place to be than at the Notting Hill Carnival. Expect loud music and a sea of vibrant colours as costumed dancers, DJ's, calypso bands and street vendors entertain visitors from all over the world and all walks of life.

Music has always been the heart and soul of the carnival and this year will be no different. As well as all the static sound systems pumping out traditional and contemporary sounds, there are live stages featuring local bands and top international artists. Previous line ups have boasted a diverse selection of bands and artists such as Eddie Grant, Courtney Pine, Wyclef Jean and Jamiroquai.

After the music, which can be heard long before you get to the carnival site, the next thing visitors notice is the appetizing smell of food being cooked by street vendors. Traditional caribbean faire is the most popular thing available and with dishes such as jerk chicken, rice and peas, patties, curries and fried plantain you'll find it hard to walk past too many stalls without trying something.

Carnival bands take to the roads at around 9am on both Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th of August. Sunday is children's day and Monday is Adults day and on both days the carnival procession will finish around 7pm
