Description:
|
This five-week festival encompasses the entire island. In the 1780s, there was always a celebration at the end of the sugar harvest – called the Crop Over celebration. The festival was cancelled in the 1940s when the sugar industry declined but was revived in 1974 and has been an annual (and much anticipated) event ever since. The festival kicks off with the delivery of the "last canes" and the crowning of the festival king and queen – traditionally, the most prolific cane cutters of the season. A decorated cart parade, calypso bands and craft booths are also features of the celebration. Some events are free; ticketed events vary in price. |
