3rd of July, 2010 it was a special day for Bristol as St. Paul’s Carnival took place that day here in Bristol city! I happen to live near Portland square where the carnival is taking place for the 43nd time already! Although for me it was the first, but definitely not last St Pauls carnival.

For those who don’t know, St Pauls carnival, which began back in 1967, is famous for the street parade of floats and children in colourful costumes. It’s not often when you can see so many colours in one place and it’s simply impossible not to capture all that beauty in photos.

With this year’s theme of Heroes and Sheroes, St Pauls carnival kicked off with a procession from Bristol’s Portland Square. Enjoy!

Olympic theme was all around..

Here’s my favourite participant of this year’s St Pauls carnival

That’s it.. I didn’t dare to put more photos in the blog.. :)
