    About

    20th July 2025 12:00 pm - 9:00 pm

    Derby Caribbean Carnival takes place on the third Sunday of July each year.

    This includes the procession where we have troupes from London, Luton, Leeds, Bradford, Preston, Leicester, Birmingham and Nottingham as well as MProductiontime2show Troupe from Derby and the Association’s own troupe Cultural Roots Carnival Troupe (CRCT).

    All troupes gather on Cathedral Green near the Derby Silk Mill (The Museum of Making). The procession sets off at 1.00 pm, meandering its way from Cathedral Green, through the City Centre, up St Peter’s Street, Babington Lane, Normanton Road, Pear Tree Road, Portland Street, Osmaston Park Road, Moor Lane and finally arriving at Osmaston Park at approximately 3.00 pm, culminating in a costume exhibition of all troupe members.

    Once on Osmaston Park revellers can enjoy the stage show with an international headline artist, other local and national artists as well as local and national sound systems providing music for all tastes. There is a Funfair to keep the children entertained, catering stalls selling Caribbean and European foods as well as arts and crafts stalls. It is certainly a fun filled day for all the family.
