The Notting Hill Carnival takes place every year in London during the August Bank Holiday. It is the second Carnival after that of Rio for number of participants.
The surreal magic of carnival of San Felice, an extemporaneous representation that every year offers a different theme, this year was "Day of Wedding".
Everyone gets equal billing in Salvador da Bahia, where the Carnival's not a competition and Brazil's mixed heritage shines brighter than glitter.
