BMM CARNIVAL WEEKEND 2027
26 AUGUST - 31 AUGUST | LONDON UK
5 DAYS. 10 EVENTS. 1 WILD WEEKEND
BMM Carnival Weekend 2027 is back for five days of connection, culture and unforgettable experiences, bringing Black gay, bi and DL men together during one of London's biggest weekends. Rooted in Black culture and the Caribbean spirit of Carnival, we've created a space where our community can come together, celebrate and experience Carnival on our own terms.
This year, we're bringing you 10 events across five days, including eight experiences organised by BMM and two supported community events. From MelanHaus social gatherings and daytime celebrations to our signature private parties and international collaborations, the programme brings together different experiences under one Carnival weekend.
For 2027, we're returning to what makes BMM special: intimate, Black-centred experiences built around connection, freedom and expression. Alongside our private gatherings, we're joining forces with MelanHaus, Deviant and other collectives to create opportunities to socialise, meet new people and enjoy the weekend in different ways.
Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning for another year, expect familiar faces, new connections and experiences worth coming back for.
