Carnival Season Kickoff Party

Join us as Baque de Axé kicks off our countdown to Notting Hill Carnival 2025 with an evening filled with music, dancing, and your chance to give Maracatu percussion and/or dance a go for free.

This event is a great opportunity to come and meet a friendly community of people from London, the UK, and all over the world, including quite a few Brazilians! Most of our community band are not professionals and had no Maracatu experience before joining – Everyone's welcome and no previous experience or knowledge is needed.

Sunday 13th July 2025
4pm till late
Maxilla Hall, W10 6SW
Free entry

We would love to meet some new faces and share Maracatu (the rootsy grandad to Samba) and our community with you :)
