New for 2012
2012’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. After missing out on a festival in 2011 due to works at the festival's former venue of Burgess Park, the local community and visitors to the London Pleasure Gardens can come together to celebrate Latin culture in the sun at what promises to be one of the biggest festival dates of the year.
Carnaval Del Pueblo 2012 takes place at London Pleasure Gardens on Saturday 18th August. All events are free to attend. Check back soon for further updates and more information.
