The Barbados Crop Over festival is launched in spring and it ends with The Grand Kadooment in August. The festival that marked the end of the sugar cane cutting season started in the 1780’s, when Barbados was the one of the world’s famous producers of sugar, and a festival was held at the culmination of each sugar season.
It stopped in the 1940’s due to the decline of the Barbados sugar industry. The festival was revived to attract tourists to the island in the traditionally ”slow season”.
