Prior to this Sunday's LMHR Carnival in Victoria Park, there's going to be a Carnival procession - a march against racism, organised by the Anti Nazi League.

The 1978 event we are commemorating on Sunday was also preceded by a march. In '78 they marched all the way from Trafalgar Square but the ANL have gone for a shorter route this time - with the carnival procession assembling at Weaver's Fields, Bethnal Green E2, for an easy mile-long stroll to the park.

They tell us there'll be floats, samba bands, banners and lots of noise - some before you come and enjoy the music in the park, enjoy taking part in the carnival procession against racism and fascism - and bring your mates and family!

This event marks the 30th anniversary of the successful Anti Nazi League march against the Nazis of 1978 which took place from Trafalgar Square to Victoria Park.

All welcome, trade union members please come along and bring delegations and banners on this march. There will be brass bands and samba bands on the precession. We would encourage people to bring friends and family as it will be celebration of unity bringing people together Black, Asian, and white, Muslim, Christian, and other faith communities, LGBT and disability communities, in opposition to racism and division, as the Anti Nazi League did 30 years ago.
