Brixton Splash


Great Day Out In Brixton! 

Dancing, food and good music; 3 of the most important things for a festival which are abundant at Brixton splash. This annual one day event is held on various streets within the heart of Brixton and offers the chance to really indulge in the diverse culture London has to offer. Comparable to Notting Hill Carnival, this event is a must if you are a fan of delicious jerk chicken and the sounds of Bob Marley floating through the streets. I couldn't resist having a try of Jamaican curried goat which was surprisingly delicious! 


There was a wide range of music on the day, from dub reggae band Chicken Wing All Stars, to American rapper Bizzle. Many of the acts were from Brixton, as there is a heavy emphasis on supporting and promoting local bands through the festival. This is a really important aspect of the event, as it is showcasing young talent and in doing so, giving young artists the recognition that they deserve.


Once again, London has provided an exciting but most importantly, free festival that appeals to all ages. This festival is dedicated to representing the fusion of cultures within Brixton, creating a community interested in exploring local arts in a safe yet exciting way. If you have not yet been to Brixton, this is the perfect way to absorb its astounding cultural diversity in a safe, yet really fun way!
