Rum 'N' Bass Carnival on the Thames MasKerade Edition

“We haven’t misspelt it. We've  upgraded it!” 6 years of Carnival on the Thames. This year? It's all about YOU. For 5 years we’ve had a three tier boat of madness with a rooftop sunset. Every Summer, Tower Bridge has been in the background doing what it does, and every Summer the party’s been sold-out, with spectacular overproof vibes. But, you know what Granny used to say ‘bout too much a one ting, you remember? So…. 2026 is gonna be different. 2026 is the year the people become the party. Welcome to Carnival On The Thames: MasKerade Edition. No doubt you’re familiar with masquerade - black lace, candlelight and Venetian opera masks gathering dust in an antique shop. That's not us, never has been.  We're Caribbean people.  We're loud, warm, colourful and full of life. We do tings our own way - the Rum ‘N’ Bass way! So, we’ve done what Caribbean people do - given masquerade a makeover, added our own spice, dressed it with a capital K and made it ours. Masquerade is black and white.  But MasKerade? MasKerade comes in every colour. MasKerade is the sexy eye mask that catches the golden hour light off Tower Bridge. It's feathers in every colour. From the moment you put it on, feel like the most alive version of yourself. Wear it all night. Put it on your head and push it back into your hair when the riddim gets too vibeey. Or, go without, the vibes will carry you either way. Picture it: August Bank Holiday Carnival Saturday evening. Golden sunset over the Thames. Tower Bridge lit up ahead of you - or behind you, depending on which way we're sailing, and honestly, both views are incredible. Three floors of music. Rooftop sunset. River breeze on your skin. Your Favourite drink in your hand. Your best outfit. Your best people. This scenery is all for you, and your special Carnival Friends #NoKesAndBenjai. This year we have our biggest international line up of acts  Soca. Dancehall. Hip Hop. Afrobeats. All night. All vibes. No apologies. https://customer-media-prod.fixr.co/495557657/75e8c239-b255-4af7-94d8-788a06220e75.webp This is the pre-carnival party London builds towards all summer. Every single Summer, without fail, it sells out with Carnival on the Thames veterans and newbies from the UK, Caribbean, Asia, Europe and beyond. So, get your eye masK on. Best bright outfit out, and let’s get River ready.
