The Biggest Street Carnival in Europe

<h1>The Biggest Street Carnival in Europe</h1>Author: <a title="KimRix" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/kimrix/90005.htm">KimRix</a> It s London and its August, so that can mean only one thing, prepare for a supercharged eruption of noise and colour - it is carnival time! During the last weekend of August, Notting Hill is transformed into a sea of music, colour and outrageous costumes with over one million people partying like they've never partied before. Second only to Rio, Notting Hill is the biggest street carnival in Europe.   Flamboyantly dressed revellers will dance their way along its three mile route to the sound of steel bands, reggae, soul, hip-hop, funk and drum and base music. It is a time of fun, merriment and excess.   But be careful, it is all too easy to get carried away with the party atmosphere. Indulge a little. Forget the strict diet (if you happen to follow one) just for one day. You'll be doing so much dancing and gyrating that the odd burger will soon be worked off. Keep yourself hydrated preferably by drinking plenty of water rather than alcohol. By all means indulge in a glass or two of your favourite tipple but be careful as it is all too easy to get carried away. You'll be high enough on the atmosphere without needing the aid of alcohol.   Mind you, if you are donning a rather scanty costume a glass or two might give you the courage you need to venture out into the street! Carnival time is all about having fun safely. Enjoy the spectacle. Let your hips sway to the beat of the music. It's OK, no one is watching you.
