Bumbacat is coming to Notting Hill Carnival 2026.
And we need the community to make it happen.
WHO IS BUMBACAT?
Bumbacat (@izzabumbacat) is a free spirited rasta cat
and vibe distributor a one love community brand built
for the urban conscious community.
Spreading good vibes and representing people who live
for music, wellbeing and creative innovation. Who move
through the world with intention. Who believe culture
and consciousness belong in the same conversation.
Bumbacat opens honest, culturally grounded conversations
about mental health, nature connection and plant-based
wellness speaking directly to 18–35 audiences across
music, fashion, mindfulness and community.
Not a gimmick. Not a meme. A movement.

We're building a giant 10ft Bumbacat inflatable and
bringing it to Ladbroke Grove this August bank holiday
weekend. Rasta cat. Visor gleaming. Free coconut water
and CBD drinks below.
This isn't a corporate activation. It's community funded,
community built and every penny goes directly into
making it happen.

WHY THE CONTENT MATTERS
The inflatable is one weekend. The content lives forever.
We're building a full creative team around the activation —
photographers, videographers and content creators on
the ground both days. Plus a 6 week build-up campaign
leading into carnival to bring the community along for
the whole journey.
Everything gets documented. Everything gets shared.

THE WELLNESS ANGLE
Carnival is electric but it's also loud, hot and full on.
We're flipping that with a free wellness distribution point
underneath the inflatable. Coconut water to keep you
hydrated. CBD drinks to keep you calm. No alcohol.
No hard sell. Just good vibes and something
that actually makes you feel good.

The installation also serves as a fixed crowd landmark.
We're in conversation with NHCT about coordinating
with stewards "rendezvous at the Bumbacat,
Ladbroke Grove junction."
2 million people come through Notting Hill Carnival.
Let's give them something to remember for 2026.
