Crop Over Festival www.cropoverfestival.bb: This is Barbados at its most vibrant. Bajans (and wannabe Bajans) come home in droves to celebrate the end of the sugar cane harvest in July & August . Sweet steel pan music on Brandon Beach, arts, crafts, calypso, delicious local food. The best cultural and soca festival in the Caribbean, with non-stop action, and loads of fun and laughter, culminating in Kadooment Day. Carnival spirit reigns!
