The Notting Hill Carnival is the largest street festival in Europe
Held each August Bank Holiday since 1966, the Notting Hill
Carnival is the largest festival celebration of its kind in Europe.
Every year the streets of West London come alive, with the

miles of vibrant colourful costumes surround over 40 static sound
systems, hundreds of Caribbean food stalls over 40,000
volunteers and over 1 million Notting Hill carnival revellers.

14. Starting its life as a local festival set up by the West Indian
community of the Notting Hill area, it has now become a full-
blooded Caribbean carnival, attracting millions of visitors from all
over the globe. With many astonishing floats and the sounds of
the traditional steel drum bands, scores of massive sound
systems plus not forgetting the hundreds of stalls that line the
streets of Notting Hill. The Notting Hill Carnival is arguably
London’s most exciting annual event.
The Notting Hill Carnival used to get under way on the
Saturday with the steel band competition. Sunday is Kids’ Day,
when the costume prizes are awarded. On Bank Holiday Monday,
the main parade takes place. It generally begins on Great
Western Road, then winds its way along Chepstow Road, on to
Westbourne Grove, and then Ladbroke Grove. In the evening, the
floats leave the streets in procession, and people carry continue
partying at the many Notting Hill Carnival after parties.

Structure
How to use “used to”
We use “used to” to talk about past events which we
no longer do. We only use it to talk about the past;
there is no similar expression for the present.
Example:
'I studied French, but I don’t anymore.' →
'I used to study French.'
'In the past I smoked, but I don't now.' →
'I used to smoke.'
Note: after 'used to' we alway use the infinitive.
Never use a continuous or past tense verb:

18. 'I used to smoke.'
'I used to smoking.'
'I used to smoked.'
