Every year there’s a big celebration in Brighton.

It’s called the Brighton Carnival.

The carnival is in July and it’s a celebration of the summer.

On the day of the carnival I wear a costume and play in a samba band. They close some of the roads in the city and people dance and eat in the street.

I like the carnival because the music is great and people are happy.
