Barbados Crop Over Festival

July through August · 6 weeks ending Grand Kadooment Day

The Barbados Crop Over Festival traces its origins to the 1780s, when it began as a celebration of the end of the sugar cane harvest on Barbadian plantations. The modern festival was revived in 1974 and has grown into one of the most culturally significant carnivals in the Caribbean. Programming spans roughly six weeks of soca music competitions, fete events, fashion presentations, and culinary celebrations, building to the closing weekend that includes Foreday Morning Jam, Kadooment Day Parade, and beach activations. Crop Over is a major fixture of Black diaspora summer travel and has been popularized internationally through appearances by Rihanna, a Bridgetown native.
