After a five-year hiatus, the vibrant spirit of the carnival is making a triumphant return to Cowley Road! 🎉 Join ‘The People’s Carnival’—a grassroots celebration that honours the true essence of carnival with live music, dynamic art, and community vibes.

On Sunday 7th July, East Oxford will come alive with the sounds and sights of carnival. Join an all-day takeover at James St. Tavern featuring live graffiti, a banging sound system, and an eclectic mix of Reggae, Roots, Dub, Hip Hop, House, and DNB from a stellar line-up of local DJs and musicians.

Enjoy live music, delicious Jamaican food from TJ Naturals Jerk Hut, and vibrant art displays.
