Dancers decked out in pinwheels of red feathers wait for the merrymaking to begin at Notting Hill Carnival, one of Europe's largest festivals. The carnival was started in the 1960s by West Indian immigrants who wanted to counteract area race riots, and today it lures fans from around the globe to join the exotic two-day party.
This year, the Notting Hill Carnival will be held August 27 and 28.

装扮着以红色羽毛制成的风车的舞者们正在等待着欧洲最大的狂欢节之一--诺丁山狂欢节的开幕,准备开始进行欢庆活动。这个狂欢节始于二十世纪60年代,由西印度移民发起,其目的在于抵制区域种族暴乱。如今,诺丁山狂欢节吸引着世界各地的追随者来参加这个充满异国情调且为期两天的盛会。
今年的诺丁山狂欢节将在8月27日,28日举行。
