A five week summer festival which always ends
on the first Monday in August, Crop Over celebrates the end of the sugar
cane harvest. Throughout the festival calypso rhythms fill the air, culminating
in the famous calypso contest - known as the Pic-O-De-Crop semi-finals
and finals. Bridgetown Market is a massive street fair with the best of
Barbadian art, handicrafts and food on sale. Other events include the Ceremonial
Delivery of the Last Canes, the Mas and Steel competition, and a variety
of traditional theatre, dance and music performances. The climax of the
festival is Kadooment Day, when costumed bands of revellers dance through
the streets to the best of the year's calypso.
