This weekend saw the Caribbean come to Manchester, with the annual Caribbean Carnival held in Alexandra Park in Moss Side.

This year’s theme was Project ’81 in recognition of the 30 years that Moss Side has progressed since the riots of 1981. The sounds and smells tempted me over for a quick look around (only quick because the Open Yardens event I was photographing was about to begin), but thought I would at least provide a flavour of the festivity here.

I’ll hopefully see the parade next year!
