It was launched as a way for the capital’s Afro-Caribbean communities to celebrate their cultures and traditions.
The event kicked off yesterday with members of the Emancipated Run Crew beginning the parade.
Co-founder of the club Jules Stephenson said: “It (the atmosphere) is electric – everyone is so excited about carnival being back.”
The group poignantly dressed in green with “Remembering Grenfell” t-shirts on as they honoured the 72 people who died in the horrific blaze.
There was a 72-second silence before the parade began.
Party-goers also traditionally covered their bodies in coloured paints, mud, oil and bright powders for “J’Ouvert”.
Yesterday’s festivities also saw two people injured when twerking dancers .
