Problem
I was looking on the BBC and Daily Mail sites and finding little of nothing.
Answer
Then I looked on Youtube and found this years' (Saturday Aug 27 2017) as well as 2017 all in one place without having to flip from one news site to the next.
The reporter getting daubed with paint:

Nottingham 2017
I clicked on this because it popped up. I thought it was Notting Hill. better than the Notting Hill videos.
Best so far of this year - Nottingham Carnival 2017, starts with great music and lots of different bands. If there's one you don't like, slide the slider to the next.

Annoyingly when you copy the code you get the numbers and letters and not the title , so, especially when the video jumps to 'on next' you are not sure whether you have caught the current title or a subsequent one.
This has some good if repetitive music, some stunning near naked dancers of both sexes gyrating. I was reminded of the quotation that dancing is the vertical expression of a horizontal desire.
I just looked up the quotation. It was George Bernard Shaw. He said perpendicular, not vertical. As is usually the case, the relative nobody who repeats the quotation incorrectly succeeds in saying it more succinctly and memorably that the famous person's original.
I suppose the best part of the Notting Hill Carnival is being saved for the Grand finale tomorrow, Bank Holiday Monday. Come back.
Meanwhile:
Toronto Caribana 2017. If Rio has Rio Toronto has rears. "If you've got it flaunt it," says the nearest male in my family when I call him to comment. Busts too. Glamorous girls.
