Crop Over Festival In Barbados

Submitted by Ciara Calabrese on the 2019 winter session program in Barbados sponsored by the Department of Human Development and Family Sciences and the Department of Hospitality Business Management…

This was taken at an event called “Celebrations of Rhythm”. The performers in the show brought us through the history of Bajan dance and music! This is a picture of what a stereotypical Crop Over costume would look like. Crop Over is a traditional harvest festival which began in Barbados, which celebrates the end of the sugar cane crop season. Spirits were high, music was loud, and smiles were bright! We all had an amazing time together.
