Callaloo Carnival Arts is a creative social enterprise.
We are a group of Artists from diverse backgrounds. We mainly make Carnival/Parade Art and produce Carnival Parades.
We made our first Carnival Masquerade for Notting Hill Carnival in 1995 & currently make work for Parades, Carnivals & Festivals across the UK.
Our signature event is Mirfield Carnival Parade, which forms the spectacular finale of Mirfield Arts Festival, transforming the town temporarily and connecting people through creativity. Mirfield Carnival Parade began in 2016 and is, as far as we know, the only Carnival Parade in UK which is produced by disabled people.
We had our best ever Mirfield Carnival Parade planned July 2020, but sadly had to cancel it due to the Global Pandemic. We did manage to hold a Virtual Carnival event online in 2020 and Pop-Up Carnival events in 2021 and 2022, but we really feel like it is time to bring back Mirfield Carnival Parade properly in 2026.
