Rotterdam Summer Carnival
Rotterdam is a culturally diverse city, a melting pot city of 178 different nationalities. The more Zomercarnaval grew, the more that the character of the city came to be represented. People from different backgrounds saw the carnival as a chance to showcase their cultures.
Zomercarnaval allows its local citizens to showcase their different cultures through music, dance, costumes, art and floats. All these different cultures fuse to create an incredible extravaganza.
ZomerCarnaval is often compared to Notting Hill Carnival as they are both large all-day street parties. However, the critical difference is that while both started as Caribbean Carnivals, Notting Hill’s stayed loyal to its roots and Zomercarnaval, on the other hand, evolved to include more cultures and nationalities.
