Leeds West Indian Carnival 2026 in pictures: Food stalls and celebrations at Potternewton Park

Before the colourful Leeds West Indian Carnival parade got under way earlier today, Potternewton Park was already buzzing with activity.

Food stalls serving up Caribbean favourites were among the highlights, with carnival-goers able to grab a bite to eat and soak up the atmosphere before the parade made its way through Chapeltown.

Here are 13 pictures from Potternewton Park, showcasing the food, stalls and early carnival celebrations ahead of this year's parade.
