Cost: Free About: In an exuberant celebration of Hackney’s diversity and local creativity, this year’s Hackney Carnival will feature 28 carnival groups with more than 1,000 performers. The parade entries have been inspired by the theme “iconic Hackney” and boasts of displays from as far as Bolivia. Believed to be started in 1973, the carnival has had many names, including the Hackney Mare de Gras. A live music stage will be organised in Gillett Square, Dalston, headlined by Jamaican reggae singer Earl 16. There will also be five sound systems and ample food stalls. If you have missed last month’s Notting Hill Carnival, this is an amazing opportunity to come together and enjoy Hackney’s diversity and colourful culture.
