Festival History

For five weeks every summer Barbados celebrates Crop Over, an exciting and vibrant extravaganza of music and masquerade, history and culture to mark the end of the sugar cane cutting season. Festival origins can be traced back to the 1780's, when Barbados was the one of the world's foremost producers of sugar, and a festival was held at the culmination of each sugar season.

When the Barbados sugar industry declined, the Crop Over festival suffered and in the 1940's stopped completely. But in 1974 the festival was revived to attract tourists to the island in the traditionally "slow season". Other aspects of Barbadian culture were added to create the spectacle that exists today. Calypso music for example, is now inextricably linked with the festival. Crop Over has become an event that attracts thousands of people from across the globe.

Kadooment is a summer street carnival, filled with people consumed by "festival fever", dancing to Caribbean soca music and wearing elaborate, multicolored costumes and body paint. It's the climax of the Crop Over festival - "sweet fuh days" - in Barbados.
