by Jenique Belgrave (Barbados Today) For the first time since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Crop Over Festival will have a full slate of events.
Making the announcement on Friday during a post-Cabinet press briefing, Minister with responsibility for Culture Senator Dr. Shantal Munro-Knight said, however, that the much-anticipated decision on the Grand Kadooment route will not be revealed until next week following discussions with all relevant stakeholders.
“We will be returning to the full gamut of the Crop Over calendar and the events that we are accustomed to. So that means that this year, unlike last year, we will see Junior Kadooment again. Last year, we moved to PANdemonium and that was extremely successful so that will return. We will not have the calvacades but we will keep the Crop Over Sweet Limes which was one of the features that we had last year that was extremely successful,” she stated.
More details about the 2023 edition of the festival are expected to be unveiled next week.
