With just a couple of days to go before the event - the following message was posted on the Tottenham Carnival website:

It is with great regret that the Tottenham Community Festival and Carnival Committee wish to announce that due to Shortfall in our funding we will be unable to stage the Festival in Bruce Castle Park on Saturday 23rd of June 2012.

We would like to take this opportunity thank all our sponsors, committee members and supporters for all their hard work & financial support over this last year. The good news is that the Carnival Parade will still go ahead which will take place on Saturday 23rd of June 2012 departing from Eade Road N4 1DJ at 11.00am and arriving in Church Road N17 8DU at approximately 1.00pm.

All information about the parade and how you can join in or support us can be found on here on our website.

We very much hope that you will be able to join us or watch the Carnival Parade. There are still 2 other great events being held on the 23rd, The Mannings Fun Fair at Bruce Castle park, and Summer on the Green, Tottenham Green East Park, London, N15 Thank you again for your kind wishes and as the poster says: “ KEEP CALM & ENJOY THE DAY ”
