Crop Over

The Crop Over festival brings people from all walks of life together in a festive atmosphere. It usually begins at the end of June and lasts about five weeks. The festival is deep-rooted in history as it celebrates the end of the sugar cane harvest, which was a rest period in colonial times. Hence, the name Crop Over was attached.

There was a period in the mid-twentieth century when the festival was discontinued. Some say this was because the sugar industry had fallen into a rut and others say that it was because of World War 2. However, in1974, the festival was revived and is now known in many places in the world.

The National Cultural Foundation (NCF) stages the main events of the festival. The festival kicks off with the Opening Gala, which showcases the Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes. During the festival season, nationals and visitors alike visit calypso tents to hear the new songs. Only recently, the NCF organised cavalcades- shows with mainly calypso performances by various artists- designed to whet villagers' appetite very early in the season.
